Quakers describe themselves as "Rooted in Christianity, open to new light". Early Quakers were Christian and deeply immersed in the Bible. Today, Quakers have been described as religiously pluralist. Do you still feel rooted in Christianity? Do you value aspects of the Christian tradition even if you no longer define yourself as Christian? Have you moved away from Christianity completely? This is an opportunity to explore and share where your spiritual compass lies - and it may not be in a fixed position.
This needs no preparation, but we have two new books in our meeting library which speak to this, if you are interested:
Marcus Borg The Heart of Christianity
Dianna Butler Bass A People's History of Christianity,
