A Ministry of Open Doors. Chelsea Methodist Church since 1903
In 1903, Chelsea's Methodists built a church on the corner of the King's Road and Chelsea Manor Street.
The following one hundred years were marked by many ups and downs for Chelsea Methodist Church most notably
the destruction of its sanctuary through German bombs in the Second World War and the accomplishment of a much
longed-for redevelopment in 1984. Printed on recycled paper. Available for £7 from: Chelsea Methodist Church, 155a King's Road, London SW3 5TX, Email felicity@chelseamethodist.org.uk |
Questions of Identity among 'Buddhist Quakers'
(Quaker Studies, Vol. 6/1 [2001], pages 80-105)
This article is focused on a survey of Quakers who regard Buddhism as the major source of their spirituality, with the aim of establishing how it is possible to be a 'Buddhist Quaker'. It is argued that there are two distinct groups of survey respondents: 'Quaker Buddhists' and 'semi-Buddhist Quakers' who differ in their self-identification. Tendencies and influences within both groups are discussed along with their respective choice of spiritual resources, their meditation practices and their belief patterns. It is observed that Quaker Buddhists have established stronger roots in Buddhism, whereas semi-Buddhist Quakers remain closer to British Quaker orthodoxy. This observation is explained in the context of respondents' self-identification, and the character and degree of the whole sample's dual identity is discussed.
Based on a paper presented to the Worship in Birmingham Project Annual Conference, University of Birmingham, June 2000. Contains the complete survey questionnaire as an appendix.
Quaker Studies is published by the Quaker Studies Research Association. For more details see www.qsra.org

Zwei Artikel möchte ich an dieser Stelle hervorheben: "Of fictious characters and roaring tigers or a testimony
of overcoming depression" gibt einige Hintergrundinformationen zur Bedeutung meines Künstlernamens Charlie Blackfield.
"Der Weg der Hoffnung", geschrieben 1994, ist eine Art spirituelle Autobiographie, die allerdings weit
über das Jahr 1994 hinausgeht und deren Symbolik ich bis heute selbst noch nicht ganz verstanden habe.
Und wer wissen will, wieso ich die deformierte Rechtschreihplump geflissentlich ignoriere, kann dies in einem Leserbrief
aus dem Jahre 1996 nachlesen.

I would like to draw your attention to two articles: "Of fictious characters and roaring tigers or a testimony of
overcoming depression" provides some background information to the significance of my penname Charlie Blackfield. "The Way of Hope", written in 1994, is kind of a spiritual autobiography that, however, goes far beyond the year
1994 and the symbolism of which I still haven't entirely grasped myself.
