Queries for December 2016

Public ContentAnyone can view this post

Frederick Friends Meeting follows a practice, common to many meetings, of contemplating a different set of queries each month. Queries are questions used among Quakers to uncover how our faith is being lived out, both individually and as a community.

Queries for December 2016: Simplicity

  • What in my present life most distracts me from God?
  • How well do the ways in which I choose to use my time, my possessions, my money, and my energy reflect my most deeply held values?
  • What am I ready to release so that I can give my attention to what matters most?    

To learn more about queries and how Friends use them in the practice of their faith, please see Baltimore Yearly Meeting Faith and Practice, 1988 edition.
