Download or read book Quaker Quicks - Telling the Truth About God written by Rhiannon Grant and published by John Hunt Publishing. This book was released on 2019-03-29 with total page 79 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Telling the truth about God without excluding anyone is a challenge to the Quaker community. Drawing on the author’s academic research into Quaker uses of religious language and her teaching to Quaker and academic groups, Rhiannon Grant aims to make accessible some key theological and philosophical insights. She explains that Quakers might sound vague but are actually making clear and creative theological claims. Theology isn't just for wordy people or intellectuals, it's for everyone. And that's important because our religious language is related to, not separate from, our religious experience. It also becomes clear that denying other people's claims often leads to making your own and that even apparently negative positions can also be making positive statements. How do Quakers tell the truth about God? This book explores this key theological process through fourteen short chapters. As Quakers, we say that we know some things, but not very much, about God, and that we are in a constant process of trying to improve our ways of saying what we do know.

Download or read book Quaker Quicks - Hearing the Light written by Rhiannon Grant and published by John Hunt Publishing. This book was released on 2021-09-24 with total page 76 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Quaker Quicks - Hearing the Light begins with the foundations of Quaker theology, which is based in the Quaker method of unprogrammed, silent worship. This act of gathering as a community to wait and listen to God is at the heart of Quakerism and essential to understanding Quaker theology, which is embedded in the practice as well as explained by it. Rhiannon Grant shows how Central Quaker theological claims, such as that everyone has that of God within them, that God offers support and guidance to all who choose to listen, and that Quakers as a community are led by God to treat everyone equally, resist war, and live simply, can be understood through a consideration of this distinctive worship practice. Rhiannon Grant also explores what it means to say that this form of theology is liberal - although many Quakers are politically liberal, they have also been called "conservative radicals" (Kenneth Boulding), and the liberalism involved is not mainly political but an attitude towards diversity of thought, opinion, and especially religious belief. While united by the practice of unprogrammed worship, Quakers have no written creed and no specific beliefs are required of members. Instead, there is a prevailing attitude of continued searching, an acceptance that new evidence may appear, and a willingness to learn from others, including members of other faith communities. At a time of great religious and political division, this radical approach to faith and learning that Grant sheds light upon, has never been more prescient.

Download or read book A Quaker Book Of Wisdom written by Robert Lawrence Smith and published by Harper Collins. This book was released on 2013-05-21 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The most valuable aspect of religion," writes Robert Lawrence Smith, "is that it provides us with a framework for living. I have always felt that the beauty and power of Quakerism is that it exhorts us to live more simply, more truthfully, more charitably." Taking his inspiration from the teaching of the first Quaker, George Fox, and from his own nine generations of Quaker forebears, Smith speaks to all of us who are seeking a way to make our lives simpler, more meaningful, and more useful. Beginning with the Quaker belief that "There is that of God in every person," Smith explores the ways in which we can harness the inner light of God that dwells in each of us to guide the personal choices and challenges we face every day. How to live and speak truthfully. How to listen for, trust, and act on our conscience. How to make our work an expression of the best that is in us. Using vivid examples from his own life, Smith writes eloquently of Quaker Meeting, his decision to fight in World War II, and later to oppose the Vietnam War. From his work as an educator and headmaster to his role as a husband and father, Smith quietly convinces that the lofty ideals of Quakerism offer all of us practical tools for leading a more meaningful life. His book culminates with a moving letter to his grandchildren which imparts ten lessons for "letting your life speak."
Book Synopsis Quaker Quicks - A Simple Faith in a Complicated World by : Kate McNally
Download or read book Quaker Quicks - A Simple Faith in a Complicated World written by Kate McNally and published by John Hunt Publishing. This book was released on 2023-07-28 with total page 73 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: '...takes us on a clear and cogent deep dive into her Quaker experience, with thoughtful descriptions of Quaker ways of working and being in the world. An engaging read.' Gretchen Castle, Dean of Earlham School of Religion and former General Secretary of the Friends World Committee for Consultation Kate McNally grew up in a mainstream Christian faith, where she could not find the connection to the divine that we all seek. She turned to psychology and science and to the pursuit of success. That all worked for a while, providing a measure of comfort but not fulfillment, feeding the ego but not the spirit. Then, at a low point and broken by the drive for success, Kate began a spiritual journey that brought her to the Quakers, where she found a spiritual community and a stripped-down, simple way of following the basic commandment: Love one another. In Quaker Quicks - A Simple Faith in a Complicated World, Kate explores the faith of Jesus rather than the faith about Jesus and shares with us the connections to God, self, and others that have brought her to the spiritual community we all long for. Take this journey with her and explore the idea of perfection and how imperfections make us uniquely ourselves, perfectly suited to the work we are called to do.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What is God? Who is God? Or maybe the question is: Who is God for you? What is the name you use? What is your experience, your understanding? Twelve Quakers write from their own experience, starting from their own insights, not from any agreed statement of belief. Twelve pieces, twelve different viewpoints, yet each has been life-changing for the person involved. This small book is part of an exploration for writers and readers alike, together growing in understanding. It has been published for people who are looking for a God in which in which they can believe, whatever name they give to the divine. Though few in number, Quakers have had a positive influence in society. Those wondering about the Quaker way, and what motivates its followers, should find these twelve honest accounts helpful.
Book Synopsis Twelve Quakers and Prayer by : Quaker Quest
Download or read book Twelve Quakers and Prayer written by Quaker Quest and published by eBook Partnership. This book was released on 2016-07-07 with total page 53 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What is prayer? If it isn't pleading or wishing, what is it? What's the point if prayers are not answered? Is prayer expecting God to do what we should do? Can you pray if you don't believe in God? Twelve Quakers respond to these and many more questions about prayer from their own experience. Each responds differently. Some recognise that how they know or understand God shapes their prayer life. Some see praying as 'holding the light'. Some know that letting go of self to enter into a greater self is crucial for them. All see prayer as communication. Simply and clearly, they describe how they pray and tell of the changes it has made to their lives. They hope their attempts will inspire readers to engage again with prayer in a more experimental and radical way
