Portlanders! Join us at Reedwood Friends Meeting (2901 SE Steele) on Nov 23, 9:30am, I’ll be preaching - but the real treat that day will be Dr Irina Gordeeva at 2:00 who is a Russian scholar interested in Tolstoy and modern Russian dissidents! All are welcome: we are not a conservative church.

Anyone in the Portland (Or) area are warmly invited to come and consider AI from a progressive Christian (Quaker) perspective…Mar 05, Wednesday evening. I’ve been reading on “socialist AI” and the ideas are interesting, to say the least. Blessings to all,
Daniel

How can we possibly continue to believe that the growing wealth of the few - used to purchase political power and impoverish workers - is somehow morally acceptable? You don’t have to be a socialist to read your Bible:

Isaiah 5:8
Micah 2:1-2
James 5:1-4

The Bible is no friend of oppressive greed.

New years greetings to all. This will be a year of vigilance against right-wing excesses - especially by those who invoke the name of Jesus to justify hatred and repression. Among my favorite sayings of Jesus - to be as ‘peaceful as a dove, but as clever as a serpent.’ Nonviolence is not naïveté.
