Images from Ohio Yearly Meeting Conservative

Here are a few pho­tos from our trip to Bar­nesville Ohio for “year­ly meet­ing sessions”:http://www.ohioyearlymeeting.org/. The pan­el talk on “Con­ver­gent Friends”:http://convergentfriends.org/ with C Wess Daniels and Ohio’s David Male seemed to be well received. In some ways I thought it was sil­ly for _us_ to trav­el so far to tell _them_ about con­ver­gence, as OYM© Friends have been doing impor­tant out­reach and renew­al work for years, sup­port­ing iso­lat­ed Friends with the bi-annual Con­ser­v­a­tive Gath­er­ings and though their “affil­i­ate member”:http://www.ohioyearlymeeting.org/discipline.htm#Affiliate pro­gram. One place to learn more about cur­rent out­reach efforts is “ConservativeFriend.org”:http://www.conservativefriend.org/.

  1. Mar­tin,
    Speak­ing from my expe­ri­ence at the event(s) last week, I found encour­age­ment from your and Wess’s pre­sen­ta­tion and fellowship.
    I was able to learn from you. Part of that was what you said, and much was in the way you said it, the way you respond­ed to others.
    It’s one of the rea­sons I make every effort to get to OYM gath­er­ings and Year­ly Meet­ing — to learn by being with Friends. There is no substitute.
    Bill Taber wrote a sec­tion in the book­let, Prophet­ic Stream. It was titled some­thing like, Can You ‘Catch’ Prophecy?
    He spoke of time Elisha spent with Eli­ja, and time the dis­ci­ples spent with Jesus.
    There is some­thing to all that.
    Thanks for mak­ing the long trip, with the fam­i­ly. They also added bless­ings to the YM by being there.

    1. @Craig: won the award? Oh good!
      @Raye: now was it you who told me over din­ner that you liked the mock mag­a­zine cov­ers I had made. As soon as I snapped that pho­to of Fran­cis I knew it had to be one, so here you go.
      What­ev­er I gave I got back in spades. It was quite love­ly being with Friends in Bar­nesville. It’s almost start­ing to feel like fam­i­ly. I haven’t read Bil­l’s “Prophet­ic Stream” yet but maybe I’ll see if it’s in the col­lec­tion of pam­phlets I inher­it­ed a few years ago. I did start reread­ing his his­to­ry of Ohio last night, which I have found quite rewarding.
