Further conversation with John Woolman
Thursday, April 2, 2009 by Jay T.
We passed on to Manoquacy, Fairfax, Hopewell, and Shanando, and had meetings, some of which were comfortable and edifying.
Just some? I wonder about the others.
“…comfortable and edifying…” That’s an interesting phrase. My meeting is doing some threshing and visioning lately. We’re trying to find out what manner of gathering we want and are led to be.
There’s often a choice laid in front of us between comfort and challenge. Do we come to a fellowship to be with those we identify with to be comfortable? Or do we seek a measure of “spiritual dissonance,” so we can be challenged to grow? What measure of challeng
e and dissonance?
….we……made a general visit to the meetings of Friends on the western shore of Maryland……..
