Dear Nontheist Friends/Quakers,
I'm writing to explore developing an online NtF Quaker Meeting in a Google group video Hangout, first as a kind of experiment in truth, - and especially as a NtF Friendly leading.
Nontheist Quakers in Wikipedia -
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nontheist_Quakers
Nontheist Friends (atheist Quakers) -
http://worlduniversity.wikia.com/wiki/Nontheist_Friends_(atheist_Quakers%3F)
I'm also curious to contribute to facilitating and developing a language for Nontheist Friendly Quaker Meeting itself, and perhaps coming into Quakerly conversation with the online Quaker Meetings in this blog post below ... as we NtFs have so fulsomely over these many years.
I'd like to hold the first Meeting line next Sunday, August 16th, at 8am PDT (California time), which is 11am Eastern Daylight Time, and 4pm - tea time - in the British Isles and Scotland, for example, for about 30 minutes. (See, too - http://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/converter.html).
If you're interested in participating, I think Google group video Hangouts work better if you add people back, so please add me on here -
https://plus.google.com/u/0/+ScottMacLeodRainbow/posts - and I'll add you back.
I may eventually initiate this from this G+ Profile page as well - https://plus.google.com/u/0/+MeetingWorldUniversityFriends/posts - so please add this as well.
I've posted some information about other online Quaker Meetings in this blog post -
http://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2015/08/california-oaks-quaker-meeting-in.html.
Would you like to join in this? (Please let me know if you'd like assistance with Google group video Hangouts beforehand as well).
Friendly regards,
Scott

Hi Non-theist Friends (re the "Membership blocked in evangelical meeting" NtF thread),
I'm glad there seems to be a fair amount of interest in f2f (face-to-face) NtF online Quaker Meeting - in a group video Hangout for example.
The online NtF Quaker Meeting this Sunday 8/16 at 8 am PDT is an experiment.
At the rise of this Meeting, if it works out, Michael in England and I and other participants in this approximately 30 minutes-long non-theist Friends' meditation with sharing (i.e. Meeting in the manner of unprogrammed Quakers) will consider other possible weekend times to meet and if we want to proceed, and who might facilitate this NtF Meeting further if NtFriends do decide to proceed.
Such an online Meeting might welcome Friends whose "Membership blocked in evangelical meeting" or even Friends who might have been "read out of Meeting" for the NtF thinking, if such Friends exist for example.
Here too are other online Quaker Meetings, some of which may be face-to-face but none of which are NtF:
