There's great benefit for the meeting, too. At the very least, there's a sense of being drawn together in God's love. Often searching for one Friend's direction helps others find their own way forward individually, or the meeting may corporately find itself being led. The movement of the Spirit among us can affect all of the meeting's activity, from worship to washing dishes after a potluck. Very few of us are called to do alone the work we've been given.
Quakers are a worshipping community under divine guidance.
At one time or another, each of us is called, in a little or big way, and needs the meeting's affirmation, care, understanding, and support. Perhaps this is a good time, God's good time, to reclaim our heritage, recognize the leadings among us, hone our personal and corporate gifts of discernment, and move forward in the Spirit together.
