Authority, Leadership And Concern

A Study In Motive And Administration In Quaker Relief Work - Swarthmore Lecture 1949

BY ROGER WILSON

Brief Description:
From 1940 to 1946, Roger Wilson was General Secretary of the Friends Relief Service. Soon after his wartime experience, in 1949 he delivered the Swarthmore Lecture, and applied his clear thinking and his understanding of Quaker processes to examine how a religious concern can be made manifest in practical work, and what needs to be considered so that this can be organized. 'The true "concern" is a gift from God, a leading of his Spirit which may not be denied.' How is the authority for this held by a human organization? What kind of people does it need to lead and carry out its work?
