The WhiteWOlf because it’s like seeing a black Amish dude, though that would really be significantly more strange. It’s cool to have quakers of other races, no matter how uncommon it is to find them.
The majority of friends at the meeting I attend are black or hispanic. I live in South Florida though, and the majority of my community is black or hispanic.
A Quaker computer programmer.... Ahhh, the jokes are unlimited here... However, thanks for ruining that for me using an intelligent and articulate presentation. Well played!
Thank you for the videos, friends. I think we all know the constant fun of reminding the world that we exist, that we're not Amish, that we have little to do with oats. The list goes on. One friendly suggestion though: we ought to use our experience of being misunderstood and misrepresented to be equally careful not to do the same to other groups. There are, indeed, Amish people who not only use but program their computers; often for high-tech word working. I don't know much about the Amish, but I know enough to caution us to be careful not to paint them with the same unrefined brush we ourselves are sometimes painted with.
I only heard about the ones who do computerized woodworking after this was filmed (saw an article a couple weeks ago), though I don't think that's actually computer programming. The way I understood it, they're *using* software, not *writing* software. Knowing that they use cell phones and library computers is why I don't have "use a computer" as my answer, though.
Mackenzie Morgan - Upon reflection my original comment was unnecessarily quibbling and lacked generosity. I apologize for leaving my general enjoyment of this video unremarked upon and jumping so quickly to unwarranted criticism.
Thank you! My head covering is suuuuper easy to sew if you wanted one of your own. It's a rectangle. There's a drawstring on one long edge, which ends up at the nape of my neck. The other long edge is folded in half with a seam from the free edge for about 6 inches, then gathered by the fold.
I agree with the things Quakers stand for...I dont however believe in god. Im not about to become religious in any form however I think Quakers among other religions like Buddhism. Have practices that are great to incorporate in daily life. I think theres a beauty in equality, there doesn't have to be a god for us to all decided we are equals. Just as meditation doesn't need a god etc. Theres beauty in the simple things. Like enjoying a moment rather than coming out of it to take a photo. It's all simple skills that i think people use all the time and to utilise them is a beautiful thing. Im not quaker and i dont claim to be. I just think it's pretty darn cool
To be fair Mackenzie, if I saw you out and about dressed as you are I might well mistake you for an Amish person. I think it's fair to say most Quakers don't dress in that way 😊
Really enjoyed this! (Somehow I missed seeing it in 2017. :). Only one comment: I wish Mackenzie would have clarified the Christian roots question by saying that the founding Quakers put aside rite, creeds, dogmas and church hierarchy. They believed they were going back to the original message of Jesus, which included seeking within, for the Christ spirit is "within you and among you."
It is a practise among more conservative Quaker groups, Mennonites, Amish, Brethren, etc. Comes from 1 Corinthians and speaks to the submission to the authority of God.
I also add in that since 1 Corinthians says to wear it when *praying and prophesying* and those are the two categories of speech that are supposed to occur during meeting, it also fits as a symbol of our authority to speak during meeting for worship. Many denominations *still* do not allow women to speak.
i iwonder if the Christians =/? Quakers thing is partly a general American thing - I'm Catholic and I've noticed a lot of Americans don't consider Catholics Christians either, which is very strange. From talking to some people, especially Gen Z people, I've noticed that for a lot Christian = modern American fundamentalist evangelical (and they also project that backwards in time too). Not great IMO.
@@convincedquaker Thank you. I've read the history of the civil rights and suffragist movements and read a little of Truth's history, but I never knew if she was Quaker. Thank you for answering this.

Cadburys was a British company founded in Birmingham 1824 by Quakers. I response to my comment at the bottom I added a historical note.

Quaker's are the ultimate quiet achiever's.. Yet they have done so much for humanity in a great way..
Adelphi Friends! Quaker Speak picked the right friend on the right topic.

a couple of years ago I went to your Quaker house when visiting family hello
My mom visited an old Shaker Village....I think she said there are two left...
Yeah the Shakers are gone. Quakers on the other hand are alive and quite well as a group.
craigpei Relatively speaking, at least.
She is just wonderful!
Nah she’s a liberal Quaker
@Oskar Johansson they suck
Hey, I met her at the DC Pride Festival!
What?
What?
Hope she was protesting it ?
I have one. Can you guys make a s'mores version of your oatmeal. I'm getting burned out on just the fruit flavored ones
Love this video! Mackenzie Morgan is very informed and I enjoyed hearing all her responses to people's misconceptions. I also love her headcovering :D

(And if you don't sew, then I like Garlands of Grace's offerings.)
@@mackenziemorgan7054 Thanks for the headcovering info! Exactly what I was wondering.
She is so well spoken and articulate
Lol I'm the person who pointed out the other person who was confused with shakers.
I'm confused. Is Quakers a female lead religion? Why the apprehension to declare God as the God that was witnessed by the the Bible?
I agree with the things Quakers stand for...I dont however believe in god. Im not about to become religious in any form however I think Quakers among other religions like Buddhism.

I've heard of nontheist Quakerism so maybe check that out I'm going to check it out too as a fellow atheist
tay5250 most young Quaker’s I know don’t really believe in god
To be fair Mackenzie, if I saw you out and about dressed as you are I might well mistake you for an Amish person. I think it's fair to say most Quakers don't dress in that way 😊
Quakers are individual people with individual thoughts on things, not 1 thought and different bodies. They dont all have to agree on everything.

Why does she wear a head covering?

Mackenzie Morgan thanks so much, that’s really cool
I am a Plain Quaker and wear a head covering.
Because she wants to
This was awesome! More vids with her :)
I LIKE this young woman! She is smart, funny and attractive!

A Jesuit (Catholic) priest I knew decades ago was fond of saying (tongue in cheek), "Catholic first, Christian second."
I had a handful of distant Shaker aunties whom I met 30 years ago, I guess some are dead now.
delightful...Bravo Quakers, Society of Friends
holy shit I lost it at "Quaker steak and lube"
wtf sort of service is this advertiser promoting I am intrigued
I’m wondering about your clothing. This isn’t common for modern Quakers, is it?
Good exposition of the Religious Society of Friends( Quakers). Wage Peace.
Aw
You are a beatiful person. keep up being cool
I'm related to Quaker Joseph Fry of Fry's chocolate 🍫🍫
She has beautiful hands and nails.
Yey! Fellow yinzer from Pittsbrgh!
This makes more sense now. I didn't think Quakers owned slaves but my 5th great grandfather had a lot of slaves and was a Quaker.
Unfortunately the odd Quaker did.. A small minority though.. No group or religion is perfect ✌️🕊️
Quakers can use cellphone?🤨
Was Sojourner Truth a Quaker?
No. Though she worked closely with many who had Quaker ties including Amy Kirby Post, Laura Smith Haviland, Lucretia Mott, Susan B. Anthony...
@@convincedquaker Thank you. I've read the history of the civil rights and suffragist movements and read a little of Truth's history, but I never knew if she was Quaker.
Thank you for answering this.
😂❤️
I adore you!
