A Place to Thresh?

In the Quaker tradition we have what we call "Threshing Sessions" which provide opportunities, guided by the Spirit, to ask questions, as well as to state a position or express a point of view.

This blog is a space on the internet for me to share some of my thoughts and encourage some "threshing" to take place. Please feel free to leave thoughtful questions, state your positions in a fruitful manner, and remember to respect all people's views.

I look forward to the "Threshing of the Mind" and what new ideas and thoughts it will produce.

Peace, Bob
