Material removed from another page
The following I remmoved from the disambiguation page Sylvania. I have no idea why it was there.
I do not feel competent to determine if any of this should be in a Quaker article so am putting it here for whatever use anyone cares to make of it.
Practical Theology
Please simplify this paragraph section on Practical Theology - what in the world is it trying to say? Shorten the sentences and separate the supports from the opposes.
"In the United States, the acronym SPICES is often used by many Yearly Meetings (Simplicity, Peace, Integrity, Community, Equality and Stewardship). Stewardship is not recognised as a Testimony by all Yearly Meetings. Rocky Mountain Yearly Meeting Friends put their faith in action through living their lives by the following principles: prayer, personal integrity, stewardship (which includes giving away minimum of 10% income and refraining from lotteries), marriage and family (lifelong commitment), regard for mind and body (refraining from certain amusements, propriety and modesty of dress, abstinence from alcohol, tobacco and drugs), peace and non-violence (including refusing to participate in war), abortion (opposition to abortion, practical ministry to women with unwanted pregnancy and promotion of adoption), human sexuality, the Christian and state (look to God for authority, not the government), capital punishment (find alternatives), human equality, women in ministry (recognising women and men have an equal part to play in ministry). The Southern Appalachian Yearly Meeting and Association lists as testimonies: Integrity, Peace, Simplicity, Equality and Community; areas of witness lists Children, Education, Government, Sexuality and Harmony with Nature."

Italics
Why are certain words italicized with no apparent meaning such as "...belong to evangelical and programmed branches..." BlueberryGrower (talk) 23:24, 21 May 2025 (UTC)
