Were not slaves considered property? Perhaps the "morality of slave ownership"
wasn't even identified as an issue back then. Addressing "slavery as an
institution," assuming it was likely endemic to the culture/society of the day,
probably wasn't high on the priority list for the authors/translators of the
story of Jesus and the promulgation of Christianity.

Yes, some of the Maharishi University's sustainable living students of a few
years ago tried to drop/ opt out of the spiritual practice they were met with
as they came to school here too. That has forced a re-think of what the
institution is about here and better articulation to prospective students that
this is in fact a meditating university they are coming to.

By the 20th Century the pace of 'modernism' had overwhelmed a cohesiveness of
'community' of an extent in many Quaker meetings that they withered away from
their regular practice of their meditation. Deja Vu.

Would have to look and see if the Swarthmore "dropping their religious
affiliation in 1906" was related to the Society of Friends splits and fallout
from evangelicalism with a pulling back and saying at the time something like
could be said now, '..no, we are spiritual and not religious, like that'.

William Penn College in Iowa became more closely aligned with evangelical
Friends, by contrast.

Possibly regional differences too of East Coast 'spiritual' liberals
(transcendentalists) dropping or severing religious affiliation compared to
midwest christian religionists.

In the ™ community the transition from elder to youth will, and is, happening 
in time. Right now the elder group needs to get some adult education to further 
their communication skill-sets and apply those right now. .  If the elders 
can’t give themselves to do it then bring in some facilitation, like from the 
practiced restorative justice people.
