Thank you and happy chatting!
I was interested in go to church tomorrow for the first time in over a decade - mostly due to a recent breakup, and fuck it, why not? Unfortunately all the churches near me are either mega church subchains, or would likely be spewing hatred due to the other lovely holiday happening tomorrow.
While I expected the latter, I’m disappointed by the former. I’m curious to hear anybody’s experiences finding or having faith while having a distaste for capitalism.
I've been told to try Friends church (or Quaker, as they used to be known)
still haven't made the time for it and Easter is a little on the nose to show up for service out of the blue
Are they not still known as quakers? They've been the society of friends since the mid-1800s
I was under the impression "Quaker" is an outside pejorative that they've half-adopted.
It was apparently coined by a magistrate in the 1650s and has been used to refer to them ever since.
