Spiritual But Not Religious? Here's Why Quakers Get It YouTube video by Quake It Up

📣 New Video! Today I look at the term 'spiritual but not religious' which I see an awful lot. I explain how I initially resonated with this term, but found that Quakerism was a place where I felt both comfortable yet challenged to something more as well.

Fascinated to hear in the comments of my video on Quaker plain dress from an officer of Clan Barclay that she had seen many heirlooms from Robert Barclay - including a vibrant emerald green waistcoat. No Quaker grey for him clearly!

A great idea for an episode! Shall be listening tomorrow!

Quakerism and Loneliness - What I Found. YouTube video by Quake It Up

New Video! Today, I am looking at loneliness and how this relates to Quakerism.

Being by yourself is completely fine, but there are people who are seeking connection and don't know where to look. Could a Quaker meeting be an answer or not?
