I didn’t mean to sound snarky, so please forgive me if I did.
It actually motivated me to re-read several of the essays in the book — and to realize how much I have changed in the several years since I first read it in the Quaker Studies book group at our Meeting. Where before I was much more touchy about the whole Bible/Christian thing, now it makes much more sense to me. The book (Cazden’s essay less so) takes on the general topic of the title with relation to sexuality/same sex marriage as their specific examples of how Friends are doing. I’m not sure how far Friends have come in the last few years about this, but for sure the questions haven’t gone away.

Hi Robin,
Whoops, who was to know you have such a complete Quaker library?!
Your Friend,

I finally ordered it, only to find that it is actually an excerpt from a Pendle Hill book, “The Bible, The Church, and the Future of Friends” which we already had.
I agree that it was very good and interesting. So is Ben Pink Dandelion’s piece from the same book.

I’ll order it today–or maybe tomorrow, depending on the state of the universe when I get home from work–and look forward to a possible discussion.

Yep, I’ve ordered it. I also bought a copy of the pamphlet referred to by Liz O. What were you thinking as far as a online book/pamphlet group? I’d be interested.
Thanks again for your comments on beppeblog!
