Marking the Quaker Path 439

The life of a fully committed Quaker can be described as a series of passages, beginning with a truthful understanding of one’s spiritual condition and deepening through attention to inward experience, spiritual covenant, discipline, and the practice of discernment, culminating ultimately in the maturation of spiritual authority in a beloved community. Robert Griswold explains these passages for modern Friends, drawing from the writings of early Quakers, and offers us a glimpse of the profound growth that can flourish when we turn ourselves over to a life dedicated to the Spirit. Discussion questions included. Pendle Hill Pamphlet #439
