August Query

Public ContentAnyone can view this post

How do we foster the meeting's communal relationship with God and with each other?

This month’s query was offered by Gwen Weaver. The section of ILYM Faith and Practice on the Testimony of Community includes the statements: "The testimony of community is central to Friends' practices." and "Our collective attention to God's word, undertaken corporately in meeting for worship, serves as the foundation of the faith community to which Friends aspire." (p. 36) The query was chosen from this section.
