Elaine Green Ves­sels of Hon­or in the House of God does some­thing inter­est­ing in this week’s fea­tured Friends Jour­nal arti­cle: she answers an epis­tle writ­ten by a trav­el­ing Friend in 1755. Samuel Fothergill wrote his let­ter from Nan­tuck­et to Friends back home at Pen­keth Meet­ing. Mod­ern Friends tend to either over-idolize or dis­miss ear­ly Friends so it’s refresh­ing to see some­one attempt­ing to engage in con­ver­sa­tion across two and a half centuries.

On Quak­er­S­peak there’s a new ensem­ble video, What Are Your Favorite Quak­er Words or Pas­sages?. Five Friends share their favorite turns of phras­es from mod­ern Quak­er lingo.
