I don’t watch political conventions

“Are the Obamas closet Quakers?” writes practicing Quaker Jana Llewellyn, Associate Editor of the Friends Journal. “I watched Michelle Obama’s speech from the Democratic National Convention while I was boiling water for spaghetti in my tiny kitchen. I’m not one for watching conventions; usually, they feel like a three-day-long theatre production, and as a busy mom and wife, I’d rather listen to music or read, maybe catch up with a few headlines the next day.
