Fourth Saturday Worship: Gratitude Controversy Humor?

Gratitude is a thing all year but in this officially designated time of feasting and gratitude, actual gratitude can be, well, messy


Waiting worship with invitation to center with the following windows into Spirit. Usually there is an hour of expectant worship and then time for freer exchange.

Peculiar gratitudes: are they a thing and what is a quakerly way to talk about them?

On Planet RantWoman, peculiar gratitudes have at least two forms:

--Schadenfreude and things one should not overdo gratitude about.

--Behaviors that do not look like gratitude but in fact reflect gratitude


If one is bizarrely fascinated by the rhetorical back and forth among certain voices in our public life, what does listening in tongues or listening beyond words mean? Does "Quaker Nice" mean one is just supposed to let bilge wash over the conceptual landscape? Where can one find center to enter the conversation?
