S1E19 Queerphobia, Division, and Capitalism In the Quaker Church with Jane 9.23.17

Friendly Anarchism

anarchy .......(8).. jesus Remastered Nov. 2021 by A. Campbell Payne! Spoke with Jane, a transwoman and member of the Newberg Friends Church about the current split happening in the Northwest Yearly Meeting, double standards in Faith & Practice, trans erasure, othering, trauma caused by intolerance, the tyranny of pacifism, the religious punishment kink, the corruptive power of money in the church, Quaker capitalism, Quaker Oats & Cadbury chocolates, how neither Jesus or George Fox were passive, quiet or calm, and the differences between a Friends Meeting and a Friends Church. Notes: I was contacted by a member of the West Hills Friends Meeting, which is one of the meetings being forced out by the NWYM, and here is a statement from her: " Hi. I'm a member at West Hills Friends, one of the meeting being removed by Northwest Yearly Meeting's decisions. I am so grateful for you and Jane for having this conversation. I only got to listen to the first half this morning and am looking forward to the rest of it this afternoon. I would like to point out that Jane missed a few important details or got some things mixed up - and it's all super complicated so I don't even know everything. But I do know that West Hills Friends created two minutes in 2008, one on authority and one on human sexuality, that the NYWM refused to engage with for a number of years. Here is a document created by a committee at West Hills Friends (and approved by the business meeting) that tells the story as far as we understand it. This document was created in an effort to remain transparent in the face of NWYMs lack of commitment to transparency. This story continues to unfold.... groups leaving NWYM have recently formed the Sierra-Cascades Yearly Meeting of Friends and are looking at how to move forward in building a christ centered, inclusive, Quaker community in the pacific northwest. Thanks for hosting this conversation!
