  1. Thanks, Trevor, Tim Regan, and Nontheist Friends’ Networks, for this conference bibliography – https://nontheist-quakers.org.uk/2020/03/01/a-2020-nfn-conference-bibliography/ .

    You reminded me of my Friends’ Dalton Letter’s bibliography – http://scottmacleod.com/daltonbiblio.htm – which I started to write just around the time I was studying at the University of Edinburgh in 2003-2004 (and active in the Quaker Meeting there in central Edinburgh). Both this bibliography and Friends’ Dalton Letter itself – http://scottmacleod.com/daltonletter.htm – explicitly touch on Nontheist Friends, but which letter is much about an envisioning of love and caring, and many other aspects of love.

    And might you be open to adding this Nontheist Quakers’ Wikipedia article – https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nontheist_Quakers – to this bibliography?

    Warm regards, Scott (These are accessible from the ‘love & links’ link – http://scottmacleod.com/http://scottmacleod.com/links.htm). – http://scottmacleod.com/links.htm

    1. Thanks Scott. I’d forgotten about the excellent Wikipedia article but the main point of the bibliography was to draw attention to printed materials and encourage the Quaker Bookshop at Friends’ House in Euston to have them in stock for the Conference.
      I had no idea you were formerly connected with British Quakers in Edinburgh – are you involved with Quakers in America?
