I live in Seattle and work as a hospital chaplain. In the past, I have been a spiritual director and retreat facilitator, and that informs my approach to being a Quaker. I am also a wife and mother, and 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 also an 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.

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.

Thank you for mentioning North Seattle Friends Church. I passed your comment along to someone who grew up in a Quaker Meeting and has not found the spiritual depth she was seeking in the unprogrammed meetings of Seattle. She visited NSFC and expects to make it her spiritual home.
