										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Over on the QuakerQuaker discussions, Oregon Friend Kirby Urner wonders whether we need to think of our Quakerism less an identity built around membership status and more as a way of life, <a href="http://www.quakerquaker.org/forum/topics/no-quakers-only-quakerism">No Quakers, Only Quakerism</a>:</p>
<blockquote><p>I’d be happy to see a branch (fork) of Quakerism which dispensed with membership on the grounds that there’s no way to “be” a Friend, only Friendly, as a modifier to one’s actions, as fleeting as the Now Moment itself. You “are” a Friend now, and again now, but it takes work to “stay in the moment” as such.&nbsp; It’s a practice.&nbsp; You don’t get to rest on your laurels, as the Romans put it.&nbsp; It’d be fun to see how that turned out.</p></blockquote>
