Who are you and what did you do with the old Kludge?

Bonjour, mon amis.

Sounds like a good person. I recently bought a hat, I should tell you about it.

I wouldn't try to find a replacement for me unless you're a very skilled engineer.

P.S. Good evening to you.

Welcome, visitors.

Well, since Quakerism is a non-creedal faith, there's no official policy regarding the matter (except perhaps in the more theologically conservative branches, which do exist but are increasingly in the minority). I did find this interesting tidbit on Wikipedia:

"Although all Quakers in previous centuries, and most today, recognize Quakerism as a Christian movement, a few Friends (principally in some Liberal Meetings in the United States and the United Kingdom) now consider themselves universalist, agnostic, atheist, secular humanist, postchristian, or Nontheist Friend, or do not accept any religious label. Calls for Quakerism to include non-Christians go back at least as far as 1870, but this phenomenon has become increasingly evident during the latter half of the 20th century and the opening years of the 21st century, and is still controversial among Friends. An especially notable example of this is that of Friends who actively identify as members of a faith other than Christian, such as Islam or Buddhism."

In my experience, the Friends' meetings are open to most anybody who wants to attend them. I know that in the Unprogrammed Meetings, there isn't even a pastor or preacher guiding the services, and everybody just sits silently in a contemplative or meditative mindset until somebody feels moved or inspired to speak. Quakers are really big on the whole concept of "Priesthood of All Believers", the idea that how one man interprets God or truth is no more or less valid than how anybody else may interpret them, no matter how educated or schooled in theology.

If you've got a meeting near you, you might want to check it out for yourself. Since there's no "Central Authority" governing the churches' decisions, it can be a bit of a mixed bag. One church might be incredibly tolerant toward people of different faiths, backgrounds, and even sexual orientations while another might trend in a much more conservative direction and still adhere to the old codes of Plain Dress, Plain Speech, etc. The only way to find out for sure is to find your local meetings and dive right in head-first!

Good luck, God bless, and thanks for your interest!!!
