@QuakerLeads I love this...thanks! It speaks to me.
The eyes of the future are looking back at us and they are praying for us to see beyond our own time. They are kneeling with hands clasped that we might act with restraint, that we might leave room for the life that is destined to come. - Terry Tempest Williams

"How do we speak of a living God in this kind of secular age where the kind of default mechanism of all of our imaginations is to not assume a living God?"—@RootAndrew thinks about this. A lot. And what he has to say should be of interest to Friends. churchtimes.co.uk/articles/2023/…
@QuakerLeads Great quote! Jacob wrestled with God, all night, and was not overcome, and wrung a blessing out of him. (Genesis 32: 22-32).
Quakers don’t know everything or have all the answers. In 1959 British Quakers wrote: “It is our faith that, with changing circumstances and the fresh insights that new experience may make possible, light will be given us to see together the will of God more clearly.”
For all Quakers, those interested in Quakers, and even those who don't consider themselves Quakers! Join us in understanding leadership and living it our in our lives.

Listen to the long stillness: New life is stirring New dreams are on the wing New hopes are being readied… God is at work. This is the Season of Promise. - Howard Thurman
Love how these Autumn colors make themselves known through the chapel windows on a rainy Wednesday. Beauty is around us. Sometimes I just need to slow down and be still to see it.
Enjoying the tweets from @QuakerLeads and the newly formed Quaker Leadership Center. It's been my humble contention that the "Quaker Crisis" is in large part a leadership/vision crisis. The Quaker Leadership Center is raising the vision of leadership. Give them a follow.
The realities of our life make up the spirituality of our life. God is in everything we go through and everything we go through invites us to notice God who is present. We are continually immersed in Divine love and grace.
Early next year I'll be teaching a course on visions of community and justice in the Gospel of Luke for Woodbrooke. Life is good. 💜
@shawnmccon67 So am I...although in my message for Sunday, I begin by stating that the kind of Quakers the world needs are Quakers who listen...for how do we know what the world needs if we aren't listening to the groans of the world. We can't always assume we know what the world needs.
@scottwagoner62 I'm really drawn to the implication of the theme. Becoming the Quakers the world needs.
(1) WORLD QUAKER DAY REFLECTIONS... ~ There are approximately 377,000 Quakers worldwide, in 87 different countries. ~ Largest percentage of Quakers are in Africa (49%) with 22% in North America.
Worth taking in, here.
Eternal, grant me the possibility of revising, understanding, and weighing everything anew, truly and freely, without violence. Grant me not to be fossilized against your Spirit and your call. —Pierre Ceresole.
