Description Of The Qualifications Necessary

To A Gospel Minister; Advice To Ministers And Elders Among The People Called Quakers

BY SAMUEL BOWNAS

Brief Description:
Friends seeking to nurture and deepen ministry in their meetings will find remarkably clear, specific and relevant guidance in this classic work. "Qualification, as this eighteenth century Friend uses the word, implies that one has gone through a process of personal transformation which reorients the ego, the will, and the attention so that one can be trusted purely to receive and purely to give forth an inspired message." (William Taber, from the Introduction) Bownas offers advice on 'qualifying' vocal ministry and other forms of ministry. A careful reading of the book can help Friends learn to discern the difference between the ego and Divine will.
