Walk Worthy Of Your Calling

Quakers And The Traveling Ministry

EDITED BY MARGERY POST-ABBOTT AND PEGGY SENGER-PARSONS

Brief Description:
This book is a collection of essays and stories by many Friends across the spectrum of Quakerism who have been called to travel in the ministry. Included are reflections on struggling with the call itself and the transformation that comes from listening carefully to God's direction. Many experiences of Friends called to traditional ministry among Friends are described, as are explorations of new forms of ministry. There is a chapter on support structures for the minister as s/he undertakes his or her journey. The editors offer up this book for all those considering ministry; as a guide to moving forward and as a sourcebook of encouragement and inspiration.
