What's New

1. Do I center my life in an awareness of God’s presence so that all things take their rightful place?

2. Do I live simply, and promote the right sharing of the world’s bounty?

3. Do I keep my life uncluttered with things and activities, avoiding commitments beyond my strength and light?

4. How do I maintain simplicity, moderation, and honesty in my speech, my manner of living, and my daily work?

5. Do I recognize when I have enough?

6. Is the life of our Meeting so ordered that it helps us to simplify our lives?

1. Are meetings for business held in a spirit of worship, understanding and forbearance? 
2. When direction seems lacking, is this seen as a challenge to a more prayerful search for truth? 
3. Do we humbly set aside our own preconceived notions as to proper action, seeking instead Divine guidance as to the right course? 
4. Is the Meeting aware that it speaks not only through its actions but also through its failure to act?
