Sunday, June 19, 2005 Quakers & Brethren Assembly.Keith - glad you found your way back here. First up the apostrophe. I don't know about the other 'bloggers', but when I write something in Word and then cut and paste onto the Blog my apostrophes turn out the same as yours. I then go in and edit by removing them and retyping them. Beats me if this is the right way, but it works for me! But I have no idea how people get colours and bold print and italics.The Quakers by your description - waiting in silence, reminds me of the Brethren Assembly. Now-a-days they are more open, but when I would visit my sister's church in Rokeby (near Warragul in Victoria, Australia - for the un-educated person on Australian towns!), there would be no music played, and we would all sit in silence until the Spirit of God would move someone and he (only a he, not a she)would get up and share from the Word or begin a hymn which we would all join in singing (but no organ or piano). My husband came from a similar background in India as well. I found it quite difficult to adjust to it as I had been brought up in the Methodist and then changed over to the Baptist. After we were married we attended a Brethren Assembly in Yarra Junction (a little country town in the hills), and then after that at Ringwood. I never felt completely at home at these services, although my husband enjoyed them. We were then called to this little church in the North Western suburbs of Melbourne which is a mixure of Brethren Assembly, Baptist and Church of Christ. Keith if you believe in your heart that you are in the place that God wants you to be in, then that is great. I'm sure that He can use you significantly. I learnt sign language for a short time when I was working with handicapped children. I'm very slow though and have to spell everything out fully with the alphabet so that by the time I get to the end of the word I forget what I was saying anyway! it is a great tool and I reckong it should be taught in the schools rather than the usual French which I didn't like one bit. # posted by shellymac @ 5:03 pm 0 comments
