Eldering

BY PETER WOOD

Brief Description:
Looks at the role of the elder in the Quaker Community asking Important questions about it's appropriate forms. "What's become of the role of elder? If elders are, as one Friend describes them, 'the mothers and fathers of tradition,' their loss leaves many of us as spiritual orphans. For many of us, the Inward Teacher we seek becomes, without the awakening and encouraging powers of the elder, as inaccessible as Godot, for whom we sit and wait to little avail. Who were they, these elders? More urgently for our own sakes, where elders no longer serve our Meetings actively, who will stand in their stead?"
