Led by Lynn Fitz-Hugh and Christie Seligman

In her new book Marge Abbott says -- and demonstrates -- that Quakers practice narrative theology. That is, we explore what we believe by telling our stories. Marge tells her own story of being led (often reluctantly) into Quaker witness and ministry. She writes from a deep study of early Quaker thought on the one hand and personal experience of the Presence of God on the other. Marge writes from a Christian perspective but respects and draws from other spiritual traditions. One reviewer says she "bridges the divide between activism and mysticism, between evangelicals and liberals, between 17th century and postmodern Friends, between crippling fear and faithful courage."

Her book is in six parts, with queries for each section. We'll meet for seven weeks -- one for each part, plus a summary session to tie it all together. We'll go deep into: what we believe, sources of our Light, challenges on our spiritual paths, and "growing edges" in our spiritual lives.

We will meet on a weekday evening, either Mondays or Wednesdays, starting in mid-January. Please let Debbie Townsend know if you are interested in participating: we will figure out a schedule that works for us.
