Walking the line between charity and safety

"James Naylor": Walking the line between charity and safety: So now what do I do if he comes to Meeting? And what do I do if I am in a situation where it is just he and I in Meeting?

As a religious society we are called to have a vision that is stronger and bolder than the language or understanding of individual members.

Vision Statements

Colin Saxton on vision statements: A useful vision statement is sort of like a star to steer by. In the absence of a clearly illuminated path or an easy-to-read road map, a brightly lit star can keep us heading in the right direction. In ministry, when so many options are available to us and so many needs crying for attention, we need some sort of direction to help us stay focused on the work God called us to do.… Continue

EDITOR PICKS

Eileen Flanagan: Leadings and confronting our own failings

Recently, however, there has been an uncomfortable sense that God is calling us to make and advocate for changes more difficult and radical than adding solar panels or a green roof.... The willingness to confront both our own failings and the ways of the prevailing culture are among the qualities that have enabled Quakers to influence history… Continue
