India Seen Afar (661)

KATHLEEN RAINE
SECONDHAND, fair condition with Dust jacket. In this concluding volume of autobiography, Kathleen Raine reflects on the profound significance of Indian philosophy and wisdom, the 'India of the imagination'. When she visited India for the first time at the age of seventy-four, she brought with her the eye of a poet and the mind of a scholar-philosopher long steeped in the spiritual vision of both East and West. In this vivid and engaging narrative of her travels the poet speaks of those human depths that are beyond all superficial divisions, invoking the timeless order that is the culture of India, and which holds an urgent message for the spiritual renewal of humankind.

Intimations Of Renewal In New York Yearly Meeting

42nd Annual Walton Lecture

BY LINDA CHIDSEY
As Friends we are familiar with the practice of sharing our individual spiritual journeys. Perhaps less common among Friends today is the understanding that as a people of God, we are also on a corporate journey. In this lecture Linda tells the story of God's presence and work among Friends in New York Yearly Meeting the past fifteen years. As she shares "intimations of renewal in NYYM," she asks Friends everywhere to listen for resonances within their own Yearly Meetings and invites them to begin telling their stories. She poses the questions: Where do you feel God's presence among you? What intimations of Life and renewal are present, this moment, in your midst?

An Introduction To Quakerism

BY BEN PINK-DANDELION
This is the first comprehensive introduction to Quakerism which balances a history of the theology of the Quakers or Friends with an overview of present day practice. It charts the growth of the Quaker movement through the 1650s and 1660s, its different theological emphasis in the eighteenth century, and the schisms of the nineteenth century which resulted in the range of Quaker traditions found around the world today. The book focuses in particular on notions of 'endtime,' 'spiritual intimacy', and what counts as 'the world' as key areas of theological change. The second half of the book uses extracts from Quaker texts to highlight differences in belief among the branches of Friends.

The Invention Of Clouds

How An Amateur Meteorologist Forged The Language Of The Skies

BY RICHARD HAMBLYN
"As a young student in 1783, Luke Howard, a young Quaker Englishman, had watched ominous clouds from his classroom window that were the result of recent volcanic eruptions that not only altered the appearance of the skies, but temporarily changed the climate around the world. Toward the end of 1802, as the Romantic era loomed, he read his seminal treatise on meteorology, `On the Modifications of Clouds,' to an audience of friends and interested associates in a small, dank basement in the Plough Court Laboratory. The presentation was the first time the scientific names of clouds were coined, explained and pronounced to the public."-Publishers Weekly
