My Doubts and Separateness - 2nd Sunday of Easter

This week we go back to the basics with our question: What am I being saved from?We mention the Corporal acts of mercy We talk about the powerful beginnings of the early church and reflect on the Quaker tradition. "Quaker” was originally an insulting nickname given toFriends in the 1650s, based on a widespread belief in England, where Quakerism began, that in their worship, when under the influence of the Holy Spirit (or perhaps evil spirits, depending on one‘s point of view), Friends would shakeand quake.  We explore separateness and losing our separation from each other and recall Robert Frost's opinion that, "good fences make good neighbors." We wonder - is salvation “being saved from our seperateness?"We wonder if Thomas' doubts are actually a very active form of seeking God.  The Sunday ReadingsThank you for listening!
