		<description><![CDATA[To seek to live in the light is essentially a value, a principle of living, rather than a belief. We need no theology, nor even a particular conception of “the light” as a distinct quality, in order to seek to live by it. Perhaps it would help me to clarify my point, if I described my own quirky, incomplete, and mostly psychological sense of where “the light” comes from]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Unity during meeting for worship for attention to business is familiar to Quakers. It is a commitment to move forward together and, significantly, it does not mean we have to hold the same views. This method of doing business has long been characteristic of Quakers.]]></description>

"Careful..." someone said.

And I was. There were several believers-in-God present – the exact number depending on your definition – and I didn't want to make a joke that might be taken the wrong way.

"If you're, uh... very theistic, go down to the other end," I finished, indicating the fireplace. "And if you're somewhere in between, go somewhere in between."]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[A Friend on the nontheist Friends e-mail discussion list at some point challenged us to seriously study early Quaker history, and not just dip into it, &#8220;to develop our knowledge of and insights into the origins and development of the tradition or movement we have committed to.&#8221; Good advice, no question. And yet I felt [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Both within and outside the informal association of Friends who call themselves nontheists, there is little common understanding of what the word nontheist means. There is also little common understanding of related words such as atheist, agnostic, humanist, and materialist, but believers and unbelievers alike have at least a sense of what they mean by [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[If I am to speak of God at all, even metaphorically, I find I must speak of two gods. This may be the reason I tend not to speak of God. Both gods speak to me as metaphors, but I have difficulty calling them by the same name. It is not the world that my [...]]]></description>
