Steps In A Large Room

A Quaker Explores The Monastic Tradition

BY CHRISTOPHER HOLDSWORTH
Christopher Holdsworth spent much of his life learning about the monastic tradition. In this book he presents aspects of that tradition which may be useful for Quakers. Starting from outward things, like stability, humility, obedience and the regular attendance at public worship, the author moves towards other sides of what the tradition calls the exploration of the heart, which he calls inner space: namely attentive reading of the Bible, and prayer. "We, like Benedict's monks, need to let the whole of ourselves be irradiated with the Spirit, so that, in George Fox's memorable phrase, our lives preach."

Twelve Quakers And Simplicity

BY QUAKER QUEST
What does simplicity mean in our complex world? Is it a lifestyle option, or is it more than that? From their own experience, the writers tell of how they try to extend their understanding of simplicity to the way they live their daily lives, and what that means in a troubled world. Quaker Quest is a new outreach initiative in Britain that is also taking root in America. As part of this work they have published six pamphlets. Twelve anonymous friends write on what each topic means to them. Topics chosen reflect the areas attenders at Quaker Quest events have been most interested to explore.
