January Query
Query offered at the January 3 Meeting for Worship:
“Do you live in the life and power which takes away the occasion for all wars? Do you seek to take your part in the ministry of reconciliation individuals, groups, and nations? ... In all your relationships with others do you treat them as [...] equals?”
...and I would add...
Do you strive to recognize and explore the uniqueness and value of each individual, understanding that each of us is brought up in environments, families, and cultures that flavor the ways we approach, experience, and react to our world?
from Faith and Practice of Philadelphia Yearly Meeting, (Rev. 1969) p.96; abbreviated and abridged by Lake Forest Friends Meeting member Sky (Jim Schuyler)
