What kind of communication exists between us all? Do we know one another as people sharing joys and sorrows? Do we have enough confidence in each other to know that our problems as well as our convictions and uncertainties can be shared with understanding? Part of that sharing is learning to know of our past as Quakers and of our Christian roots but even more necessary is the sharing of what we as Quakers believe today and how this should be shaping our lives both individually and corporately. Together we have a task in exploring our faith today with all its implications for action. –Peggy McGeoghegan Just as a body, though one, has many parts, but all its many parts form one body, so it is with Christ. For we were all baptized by one Spirit so as to form one body–whether Jews or Gentiles, slave or free–and we were all given the one Spirit to drink. Even so the body is not made up of one part but of many. As it is, there are many parts, but one body. –I Corinthians 12:12-14, 20 Organizers seek a balance between Friends from different styles of worship.
