Nice blog, Marcelle
Thank thee, Marcelle.
Thank you for your ministry. It gives me nurture on this election day.
David Garman
Marcelle could you contact me about how Minneapolis Friends Meeting could have you visit and host a workshop on Learning from Early Friends. Minneapolis is a central place for Iowa Friends, Wisconsin Friends and the Dakota Friends and we could advertise the event as part of our Quest series. Thanks. Judith James
Marcelle, thank you for reading my writing, and for your supportive comments on my blog (http://lovewantstoreachout.blogspot.com/) It means so much! Lovely writing here, too… Love, Carly
Marcelle,
We met once at a School of the Spirit board meeting (Jan 2009). I wanted to tell you that several of your blog posts are required reading in the West Coast program Way of the Spirit (link below). January’s retreat features your pieces on Leadings. Thank you for your faithfulness in articulating the inside out spiritual transformation of our Quaker heritage.
Peace and all good,
Christine Hall
Director, Way of the Spirit: Contemplative Study in Community

Thank you Marcelle. Sometimes the journey is long but still fruitful. You are an inspiration.
Thank you, Donna. It’s heart-warming to know that my blog touches you.
I am an Irish Friend whose youngest daughter is teaching English in Vietnam and so I am particularly interested in your reflection on the terrible war. Thank you for your testimony.
Thanks for responding, Padraic! I hope your daughter is enjoying her time in Vietnam.
Blessings!
