I am convinced there is a great host of people in the world, unaware of the vitality of the Quaker message, untouched and unreached by loving Christian fellowship, who upon hearing the Good News, would gladly seek the source. We need a recovery of intellectual honesty in all our relationships. Simple directness of approach in the power of God's Spirit and filled with God's love would release many from the bondage of the unexpressed tyranny of the unacceptable. Freedom is Christ is the freedom to be as He creates us and intends us to be. The world, of which Friends are very much a part, is calling for the way of freedom.
Men bind other men in order to try to free themselves only to find that they, too, are in bondage.
The freedom expressed by intellectual honesty creates the kind of spiritual climate that permits new birth to take place and liberty-giving truth to flourish. Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with al they soul, and with all thy mind. This is the first and great commandment. And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets.
