Kindlers

The power of God is known in new ways for many of us today. This can be pursued over four challenging group sessions. This booklet will spark strong responses when read alone but is aimed at those bold study groups who dare to live adventurously.

'Through us, not from us' recounts the talks of four experienced Friends from a conference on Vocal Ministry, examining the context in which it began and how it is now practised and nurtured.

Listening is integral to Quakerism. Whether in Meting for Worship, conversing one to one, making decisions in community, or discerning wht action is right for us, we need to listen to spirit, to the still, small voice within.

'What does Love require of us?' explores the forty-two Advices and Queries, guidelines and challenges. These spiritual experiences strive to put love in action as a way of life and as the heart of Quaker worship.

Quakers claim there is that of the Spirit within everyone. We are sacred beings, made from the 'stuff' of the divine Originating Power and able to be in resonance with it today.

To live adventurously is to take a leap into our personal unknown. The riches we discover will depend upon the risk and depth of the exploration we have dared. Inevitably there is uncertainty; too much discernment stifles the Spirit.

This book is about presence and kindness. Its reflections, prayers and meditations are reminders of God's presence and unconditional loving kindness. They also invite us to be a loving presence in the world.
