I thought it might be useful to share some of the interesting and odd resources that I’ve found. And things seem to be progressing relatively quickly.

For example, we’ve come a long way since January, 2008, when this video was compiled:

Quakers on Youtube

…and since these non-Quakers were the most visible folks discussing Quakerism in video form:

(…and I just searched and searched for the original “introduction to liberal Quakers” video that was just a list of spiritual opinions from someone who hadn’t ever been to Meeting. But it must have been taken down. And enough old videos from folks unfamiliar with our movement!)

Martin Kelley pointed me to this great video from Callid Keefe-Perry, which is a reaction to the lack of self-description from Quakers on youtube.

More great vids from Callid at his channel,

The following video is one in a series of tasteful and well-produced videos on Quakerism according to Watford Friends Meeting in Watford, England from user srekauq:

My favorite Quaker video of all time, Can We all Be Friends, is not online. But it is available in the Pendle Hill Bookstore, and if we bother producers Coleman Watts and Betsy Blake enough, they just might put some of it up on youtube!

…and where are we headed with electronic/video outreach? Check out this interview with Raye Hodgson of Ohio Yearly Meeting’s Electronic Outreach Committee:

Some more Quaker video resources:

• Quakerquaker.org/video
• The Bridge Film Festival, An International festival of student films from Friends, (Quaker) schools and Meetings worldwide.

And of course, I’ve been focusing on the liberal Quaker perspective, but there are also some strong resources from other branches:

• QuakerforChrist
• ChristianQuaker.net
