Scarlet-banded Barbet: Nontheist Friend Wikipedia page in Spanish, ... for an interlingual conversation, (7,104 languages to go for NtF wiki, open, teaching and learning pages at WUaS, per 'The Ethnologue'? :) Would anyone else on this list like to begin a Wikipedia entry about Nontheist Friends in one of their 283 remaining languages?


Nontheist Friend Wikipedia page in Spanish, ... for an interlingual conversation


Hi NtFs / Nontheist f/Friends, 
I was glad to find this morning on my smartphone the NtF entry in Wikipedia in Spanish - https://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cu%C3%A1quero_no_te%C3%ADsta. 

Is the writer who added this Wikipedia entry receiving these emails on this NtF email list?

Here's the Nontheist Friend Wikipedia entry - 

I think you asked about Wikipedia resources a few weeks' ago, Denny. 


Both the 'Nontheist Friend (antheist Quaker?)' World University and School wiki page - http://worlduniversity.wikia.com/wiki/Nontheist_Friends_(atheist_Quakers%3F) and the Nontheist Friend website - http://www.nontheistfriends.org/ - are linked on both the English and Spanish pages. 

(7,104 languages to go for NtF, wiki, open, teaching and learning pages at WUaS, per 'The Ethnologue'? :)

Would anyone else on this list like to begin a Wikipedia entry about Nontheist Friends in one of their 283 remaining languages?

Friendly regards, 
Scott

Scott, thanks for noticing the Spanish NTF Wiki page. It was started by "DHidalgo" who I very much want to meet. No member of our list has an email address that looks like DHidalgo.
Oz (conocido como Osito en Monteverde, Costa Rica)

From November 20 NtF email: 

Kister, I found it very refreshing to see someone refer to Buddhism as a source of ethics for a change. I suspect Buddhist oriented Friends are much more of a minority than more traditionally NTF ones these days!

Scott, I absolutely do not view myself as "ANTI-Theist"! Am I on the wrong list serve? It's a serious question....



Hi Dora, Oz and NtFs,

What I find salutary about the multiple conversations in this NtF email list is the metaphorical heteroglossia - the many voices, and the varieties of thinking and explications that emerge communicatively between us, thanks partly to the distributedness of the internet, and all of us around the world.

I similarly find wikis, - such as Wikipedia's and World University and School's - fascinating in that they are digitally editable, and thus also facilitate a conversation via the internet. 

The WUaS 'Nontheist Friends (atheist Quakers?)' wiki Subject - http://worlduniversity.wikia.com/wiki/Nontheist_Friends_(atheist_Quakers%3F) - is a focus of mine vis-a-vis NtFs (and I began this wiki page), but anyone can begin an open teaching and learning (which may or may not be 'great universities-centric') wiki page at WUaS, thus beginning a new focus and subject. Would you like to begin one about an aspect of NtF which particularly interests you?

One interesting wiki-thing about the NtF Wikipedia entry (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nontheist_Friend) in English is that someone changed its title from 'Nontheist Friend' to 'Nontheist Quaker' some months ago (there's a Wikipedia record of this), and as the contribution by the author of the Spanish NtF version shows - https://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cu%C3%A1quero_no_te%C3%ADsta - (I don't know Spanish), who appears not to be on the list, the openness of wiki allows for such multi-perspectival conversational developments. 

Oz, there may be contact information, such as an email address, linked to where you found this DHildago's Wikipedia name. 

I'll email this also from its "Nontheist Friend Wikipedia page in Spanish, ... for an interlingual conversation" thread - for archival search reasons, - thus also extending our NtF conversations' accessibility. 

Welcoming your non-"ANTI-Theist"! thinking and writings here. 

Friendly regards, 
Scott

Here are the NtF Wikipedia entries mentioned above: 

Cuáquero no teísta

No teísta.
Un amigo no teísta o cuáquero no teísta es alguien que se identifica y/o afirma las prácticas y procedimientos del cuaquerismo pero no acepta la creencia teísta de dios, un ser supremo, divinidad, deidad, alma o elemento sobrenatural.
Los cuáqueros no teístas, al igual que los demás se interesan en la paz, la vida sencilla, la integridad, comunidad, ecuanimidad, amor al prójimo, felicidad y justicia, tanto en la comunidad cuáquera como en la sociedad.
Los cuáqueros han comenzado recientemente a tener en cuenta de forma significativa las creencias no teístas en las comunidades, en la tradición de la búsqueda de la verdad. El no teísmo entre los cuáqueros data de la década de 1930, cuando algunos miembros en California se separaron del grupo para formar la Sociedad Humanística de Amigos (hoy en día forma parte de la Asociación Humanista Americana) y cuando Henry Cadbury, enseñó el agnosticismo a los alumnos de la Harvard Divinity School.1
El término No-teísta fue publicado por primera vez en una publicación cuáquera de 1952 sobre objeción de conciencia.2 El primer taller no teísta en una Conferencia General de Amigos fue en 1976.3

Fuentes[editar · editar código]

La principal página web de cuáqueros no teístas es útil para profundizar en el tema ya que pertenece a grupos de estudio cuáqueros, junto con perspectivas materialistas,ambientalistas, humanistas, de historia natural, etc. Ejemplo de ello es Raíces y flores del no teísmo cuáquero4
El libro Sin dios, ¡por amor de dios!: No teísmo en el cuaquerismo contemporáneo (Godless for God's Sake: Nontheism in Contemporary Quakerism)5 ofrece contribuciones recientes y críticas de cuáqueros, ya que algunos cuáqueros están a favor de la evolución, la antropología cognitiva, la psicología de la evolución, el bodymind6 7 ) y la primatología, tanto como sobre la toma de decisiones conjunta.

Nontheist Quakers

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
  (Redirected from Nontheist Friend)
Nontheist Quakers (also known as nontheist Friends) are those who affiliate with, identify with, engage in, or affirm Quaker practices and processes, but who do not necessarily accept a belief in a theistic understanding of God, a Supreme Being, the divine, the soul or the supernatural. Like traditional Friends, nontheist Friends are actively interested in realizing centered peace, simplicity, integrity, community, equality, love, joy, and social justice in the Society of Friends and beyond.

Beliefs[edit source | editbeta]

Quakers in the unprogrammed tradition have recently begun to examine the significance of nontheistic beliefs in the Society of Friends, in the tradition of seeking truth. Non-theism among Quakers probably dates to the 1930s, when some Quakers in California branched off to form the Humanist Society of Friends (today part of the American Humanist Association), and when Henry Cadbury professed agnosticism in a 1936 lecture to Harvard Divinity Schoolstudents.[1] The term "non-theistic" was first written in a Quaker publication in 1952 on conscientious objection.[2] As early as 1976, a Friends General Conference Gathering hosted a well-attended Workshop for Nontheistic Friends (Quakers).[3]
There is a nontheist Friends' website and there are nontheist Quaker study groups.[4] Os Cresson began a recent consideration of this issue from behaviorist,natural history, materialist and environmentalist perspectives. Roots and Flowers of Quaker Nontheism is one history. Friendly nontheism also draws on Quaker humanist and universalist traditions.[5] The book Godless for God's Sake: Nontheism in Contemporary Quakerism offers recent, critical contributions by Quakers.[6] Some Friends are actively engaging the implications of human evolution, cognitive anthropology, evolutionary psychology, bodymind questions (esp. the 'relaxation response'[7][8]), primatology, evolutionary history, evolutionary biology, biology and consensus decision-making, online especially, in terms of Quaker nontheism.
Nontheist Friends are a group of individuals, many of whom are affiliated or actively involved in the unprogrammed tradition in Quakerism. F/friendly nontheists are attempting sympathetically to generate conversation with others who are more comfortable with the traditional and often reiterated language of Quakerism. Some nontheistic f/Friends see significance in this lower-case / upper-case distinction in terms of inclusiveness and friendliness, welcoming both to the ongoing NTF email list conversations. Questioning theism, they wish to examine whether the experience of direct and ongoing inspiration from God ("waiting in the Light") – "So wait upon God in that which is pure. ..."[9] – which traditional Quakers understand as informing Silent Meeting and Meeting for Business, might be understood and embraced with different metaphors, language and discourse.
