Description

This is a podcast of Ohio Yearly Meeting. We are a collection of Conservative Quaker Meetings based primarily in Ohio. By conservative, we do not mean politically conservative. Conservative Friends are known for their commitment to conserve the Original message of the first generation of Quakers. These Quakers, in turn, saw their movement as a revival of primitive Christianity. We hope the installments of our podcasts will present the understandings of Conservative Quakerism.

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.

John 19:28-20:18 We read John 19:28 through John 20:18 in Greek-aware detail, tracing how John ties the crucifixion to fulfilled Scripture and to concrete, often misunderstood realities of Roman execution. We also weigh how narrative structure shapes faith, as the empty tomb and Mary Magdalene’s grief lead to recognition that arrives through being personally called by name. • Sour wine and Psalm 69:21 as a fulfillment signal • Historical realities of crucifixion, including shame a...
John 19:1-27 We read John 19 closely and keep running into the same question: who really holds power when empire, religion, and fear all collide. We track how John’s Greek wording and narrative details reshape what we think we already know about Pilate, the charges against Jesus, and the meaning of spiritual authority. • Jesus’ “kingdom not of this world” as a rejection of political definitions of God’s reign • Purple robe and crown of thorns as mocking symbols of royalty and insu...
John 18:11-40 We read John 18 closely, tracing how the Gospel portrays Jesus as calm and purposeful during arrest, interrogation, and the first steps toward crucifixion. We test translations and historical context to see how small word choices shape big theological claims about truth, power, and an inward kingdom. • Rereading the garden arrest and the meaning of “I am he” • Debating why the arresting party falls to the ground and what that signals about control • Unpacking first-century...
John 17:20-26 We read The Gospel of John in Greek and sit with Jesus’ prayer that believers share a living unity that convinces the world. We trace how words like logos, doxa, and onoma point past outward religion toward inward immersion in the Spirit, then we pivot into John 18 and the roots of the Quaker peace testimony. • Reading and translating John 17:20-26 with attention to Greek grammar • Logos as proclaimed witness that carries spiritual power • Unity as mutual indwelling in the S...
John 17:1-19 We walk slowly through John 17 and let the Greek sharpen what Jesus is praying for as he speaks about glory, authority, eternal life, and unity. We connect word studies like doxa, exousia, parousia, logos, cosmos, and hagiadzo to Quaker concerns about the presence of Christ, the true church, and being sent into the world without being shaped by it. • Heaven as sky and as spiritual reality in the Greek word ouranos • Glory and glorify as honor and as God’s manifested presence li...
