“But oh! The joy that filled my soul in the first meeting ever held in our house at Chalfont. To this day I have a fresh remembrance of it. It was then the Lord enabled me to worship him in that which was undoubtedly his own, and give up my whole strength, yea, to swim in the life which overcame me that day. Oh! Long had I desired to worship him with acceptation, and lift up my hands without doubting, which I witnessed that day in that assembly. I acknowledged his great mercy and wonderful kindness; for I could say, ‘This it which I have longed and waited for, and feared I never should have experience.”

— Mary Penington, c. 1662

Envisioning A Moral Economy - Php 405

BY TOM HEAD
What is the place of moral values in the way we structure our economy? Should the teachings of Jesus and other faith traditions be considered when we address such questions as: How is work fashioned? Where do we live? What do we own? Quaker economist Tom Head explores how we might think about our economy-and its purposes-in new ways by including religious sources of wisdom and morality in our vision of a just and humane economic future.

Kindling A Life Of Concern

Spirit-led Quaker Action Php 404

BY JACK KIRK
Jack Kirk discusses how a concern, a need to act, help or respond to a situation arises, how it opens to us, how we may test them, and how we may find in them a center of spiritual gravity for our lives. How do we discover our callings as individuals, and what is our calling as a community of Friends? When we have a concern how do we know whether that yearning comes from our own feeling of urgency or obligation, or whether it is something more something that the Holy Spirit is asking of us? Discussion questions included.
