And A Little Child Shall Lead Them

BY PARKER J. PALMER
In this pamphlet, Parker Palmer speaks on the importance of understanding the spiritual gifts of children and following their leadings. He writes beautifully of the Society of Friends as a family that needs to care for and nurture the young. But rather than a family by blood and birth, which can be exclusive and closed, a family of adoption that extends hospitality to strangers. A typically compassionate and thoughtful entry from Palmer and a worthwhile read.

Freeing The Spirit

Nominations In The Society Of Friends In Theory & Practice

BY ROY STEPHENSON
In this book Roy Stephenson examines how Quakers can and do put their most deeply held principles, springing from their religious experiences, into pracice. Drawing from the depth of the religious tradition which first gave rise to George Fox's pioneering message in the 17th century, he shows how these principles remain the radical foundation of Quaker faith. Quakers can continue to be radical in this century, even within their own structures, through the way in which Friends in Britain are selected to hold office in the Society.
