Random Endorsement
"Latin...crops up all over the blog... This is either charming or deeply weird. I think it's charming... [P]lainly Funky Dung has developed a following...

Christian Simplicity and Integrity
In a continuing effort to expose Catholics and mainline Protestants to Quaker wisdom, here's another sampling from Philadelphia Yearly Meeting's 1972 edition of Faith and Practice.

Christian Bereavement
Apropos in light of the pope's passing:
"The faith of Christ teaches more than courage in the face of death. Our attitude to death is transformed. As we come to a more intimate experience of the reality of God, we may enter into the overcoming power and strength of the great words […]
