YAF potluck dinner, singing, silent worship, and committee meeting. It was lovely. There were eight or nine of us, and we ate a bunch of tasty food (including way too much sugar…).
I used Vegenaise in my borscht, instead of sour cream, and it was good (though of course slightly different from the usual).
Pretty much everything was vegan - except the Voodoo donuts, only one of which was vegan, and the borscht when served with sour cream.
On the first evening of the Young Adult Friends Conference this weekend here at Earlham, in Richmond, Indiana, I heard a lot of messages about perfection. (more…)
I’m writing from the Young Adult Friends (YAF) Conference at Earlham College in Richmond, Indiana. This has been (and continues to be) a powerful weekend for me. The only expectation I had when I arrived was that I would be transformed. Okay, so I also expected to see a lot of old f/Friends and make new ones, and I was hoping to spread the word about other future YAF gatherings (actually, I thought that was a key and important reason for my coming here; more on that later), but I showed up with the expectation that I would undergo thorough and dramatic change.
That expectation has been fulfilled, again and again. I look forward to writing more later, but at the moment I’m headed off to our evening program.
