How do we follow the leadings of Spirit as we make commitments in our lives. Faith is the belief that an ideal exists without proof. Sometimes all we have to go on is Hope, but Faith and Charity can grow from what follows. Faith, Hope and Charity are gifts of the Spirit.
Relationships require sensitivity, patience, humility and openness.
Our commitment to spirituality makes it possible for commitment to play an important role in our relationships. We can't be thankful for all things that happen, but we can be thankful for something that comes f rom each experience. We attract people to Quakerism, not by recruitment, but by showing them a light so lovely they can't wait to see more. The Junior Yearly Meeting held its Midyear Meeting, and the committees of Discipline Revision, Interim, and Peace and Social Concerns met. We hope that participants from each group will share their experiences with us at a later time.
