I live in Seattle and work for GOOD NEWS Associates. You can read more about my ministry at www.goodnewsassoc.org/mskrom. Besides being a hospital chaplain, spiritual director, retreat facilitator, Quaker, wife, and mother, I like to play with theology and faith and make it be relevant to life. Everything I know about God gets put to the test by my experiences in the real world, and everything I experience in the real world affects how I understand God to be present to us. The fruits of my musings are what you will see on these pages.
In my faith life I move back and forth between contemplation and action. I am a spiritual director and chaplain, and also a spiritually-based activist by nature. When I see something I perceive to be a problem, I like to engage it and come up with ideas for solutions. In this blog, I will wrestle with issues of Quaker faith, practice, and culture, and I’ll write about the condition of liberal Quaker Meetings as I see it.
I have another blog, too, http://susannekromberg.wordpress.com, where I look more broadly at liberal Christian theology. I do something very similar in it, except my framework there is to look at liberal Christian faith.

Hi
Can you tell me what a “Quaker Wall” is, please?
Thank you,

John,
Could you tell me a little more about where you have encountered that phrase? It’s not a phrase I recognize outside of a context, but perhaps I could be more helpful if you explain how you came to ask about it.

Hello Susanne.
“The Quaker Wall” is a poem by an Irish poet called Gerald Fanning. I had never heard the term before so I googled it and found your site. If you e-mail an e-address, I’ll send you the text – maybe it’ll make sense then.
Thanks,
John.
