First Day School for Young People

“Care of the children of the meeting should be the responsibility of every Friend. Let us share with our children a sense of adventure, of wonder, and of trust and let them know that, in facing the mysteries of life, they are surrounded by love. Both parents and meetings need to guard against letting other commitments deprive children of the time and attention they need. Friends are advised to seek for children the full development of God's gifts, which is true education.”

— Revised Faith and Practice, New England Yearly Meeting, 1985

Cultivating the spiritual lives of children within the context of meeting is a vital part of the role of the faith community. Providing developmentally appropriate and rich learning experiences for children, as well as providing opportunities for deep connection with the adults in the meeting is at the heart of a strong First Day school. Listed here are many resources to help meetings provide a spiritual home for their children.

And A Little Child Shall Lead Them

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

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.

To Be Broken And Tender

To Be Broken And Tender

A Quaker Theology For Today

BY MARGERY POST ABBOTT
In To Be Broken and Tender, Friend and Quaker historian Margery Abbott weaves together a brave and beautiful personal narrative with Quaker history and theological reflection in response to questions and struggles about belief, language, social issues and other deeply-felt concerns that unsettle and divide our Meetings and the wider Religious Society of Friends. A study guide assists readers in their own discernment around challenging issues such as care for the environment, our personal relationships to God and Christianity, and what role Friends have in making the world right.
