Dave,
Welcome to the Yahoo! Zen Forum. I have one question: Why do you consider Quakerism a LIBERAL form of Christianity? I would think it would be classed as a very CONSERVATIVE form. .Bill!

I am 38, and I have been meditating on and off for about two years, reading about Zen for about 10. I find that zazen helps with my Obsessive Compulsive Disorder, and while I don't want to go into too many details about that, they key is the fear of uncertainty. the fact that Zen embraces uncertainty is what appeals to me. I am nominally Christian, but I lean towards the more liberal end, i.e. Quaker or even further. I see Christianity's strength being in its ethical system, at least when properly applied. I would become even more involved with Zen, sadly there is no real Zendo near where I live. Anything else anyone would like to know? __________ Information from ESET NOD32 Antivirus, version of virus signature database 5367 (20100814) __________ The message was checked by ESET NOD32 Antivirus. http://www.eset.com
