Cross-Cultural

[poliphilo]

 I am sufficiently European to resonate with Catholic things
And sufficiently English to resonate with Anglican things
And sufficiently far out  to resonate with Pagan things
And sufficiently marginal to resonate with Quaker things
And suffciently impatient with all the above to resonate with Zen things....

Next week one of our members is going to be giving a talk on her pilgrimage along the Milky Way to Santiago da Compostella and Mark- who has an eye and an appeciation for anything cross-cultural said how interesting it was that Quakers were prepared to countenance something so very, very Catholic and I thought, "Well, now you mention it I suppose it is, but I'd sort of taken it for granted...."

Did you resonate with Judaism and Islam? How about Orthodox Christianity? How about Hinduism and Buddism?

There are aspects of most religions I find attractive- but the ones I've listed are the ones that mean most to me.....
