Ohio Yearly Meeting's Podcast
So, if thee is interested in learning the differences between Conservative Quakers and other Quakers, or would like to understand differences between Quakers and other Christians, thee may well be at the right place. On the other hand, the Conservative Quaker perspective is so strikingly unique in contemporary society, that it will be a balm to many seeking spiritual fulfillment. To assist these seekers is the true intent of publishing our podcast.
A good many of the podcast installments will be presented by Henry Jason. Henry is knowledgeable in the Greek of the New Testament and has a fascinating way of tying the meaning of the original words with the writings of early Friends. Listening to him provides a refreshing view of scripture and is an excellent way to learn about original Quaker theology. Henry's podcasts are usually bible classes and so they are often interspersed with discussions, questions and insightful comments by his students.
The music in our podcasts is from Paulette Meier's CDs: Timeless Quaker Wisdom in Plainsong and Wellsprings of Life available at paulettemeier.com.

Ohio Yearly Meeting's Podcast
Conservative Friends Bible Study of Mark #04 Chapter 02 Verse 18 – Chapter 03 Verse 35.
Henry starts off by reviewing a question from last week regarding the similarities between the words “anger” and “compassion” in Aramaic. He then returns to the Gospel of Mark where he examines why Jesus’ followers did not fast and who is called to fast today. The group looks into: new wine in old wine skins, what is the new wine, what is lawful on the Sabbath and what is the Sabbath for? Henry explains who the Pharisees were and then discusses the naming of the Apostles. An interesting topic develops with the question: what is special about Phillip’s name? This leads into an examination of the composition of surnames including one's father’s name and/or the place of origin. Henry reviews the meaning of the word "parable" and then considers what it means to blaspheme against the Holy Spirit. The group discusses why it is not enough to be against war. Like prophecy and exorcisms, it must be coming from the right place. We must think like Jesus thought. Henry concludes talking about the Seed Within and offering a commentary that the first generation of Quakers “got it right”.
