The Lord showed me, so that I did see clearly, that he did not dwell in these temples which men had commanded and set up, but in people's hearts... his people were his temple, and he dwelt in them.

"What is within the power of each one of us is to focus, over and over, on smaller areas within our reach rather than on the entirety of our society."
"Quakers say we are to see that of God in everyone. This is not an automatic behavior for most people but instead must be a consciously made choice, even when it is a hard move to make," says Michelle Downey. "When I truly pursue this, it influences every interaction I have with others."

All Quaker communities experience change, whether small or significant. We are working in partnership with Quakers in Britain to offer this course, starting this Wednesday, where we will create a supportive space to share experiences and explore ways forward together.

Stillness lies at the heart of Quaker practice, but can be hard to achieve. This session offers practical approaches to settle the mind and open to Spirit.

While Elizabeth Fry prayed for divine guidance to focus her efforts on social good, particularly prison reform and abolition, her quote could be used to remind us to place our focus on the important things during this silly season!
