The Nontheist Friends (Quakers) Discussion Listserv
The purpose of the Nontheist Friends (Quakers) discussion listserv – hosted on Google Groups – is to provide a safe and friendly space for nontheist Friends, other Friends, and non-Friends with a genuine and friendly interest in the subject, to discuss the experiences and challenges of being nontheists in the Religious Society of Friends.
We hope to strengthen the Quaker tradition of welcoming people of diverse religious experience, and to show by example that this can include nontheists.
