Turnaround # 387 Benjamin Lloyd,
Answering The Call To Heal The World # 383
Patience Schenck, There is a role for each of us to play in healing the wounds of the world and bringing into being the wholeness that is possible in God's creation. But where do we begin? This pamphlet invites us to explore our unique gifts and the hungers of our hearts, to discover our own calling in this sacred work. In a wise and intimate conversation with her readers, Patience Schenck walks us through the life of a leading: hearing a call, testing our discernment, overcoming the obstacles to faithfulness, finding the support we need, and finally recognizing when our work is done. In the face of the immense challenges confronting those who would dare try to heal the world, Pat Schenck's advice is both practical and encouraging.
Like many Friends, Benjamin Lloyd is deeply concerned about the future of our Religious
Society. Why are we diminishing in numbers when we have so much to offer? In this essay, he presents his own creative ideas and encouragement for a reinvigoration of our meeting communities. Which of our traditions and practices should we renew? And where are the places where continuing revelation calls us to be open to the winds of change that will come with the next generation of Quaker leaders? About the Author
