SUMMARY:Pacific Northwest Quaker Women's Theology Conference
DESCRIPTION:Theme:\n\nWalk With Me: Mentors, Elders, and Friends\n\nQu
 otes for Reflection:\n\nIn preparation for the conference, each woman 
 is asked to write a brief reflection paper (1-2 pages) on the theme an
 d/or any of the quotes below, and submit the paper online. The papers 
 will be collected and shared only with other women who are attending t
 he conference.\n\nFrom: 2 Timothy 1:5-7\n\nI’m reminded of your sinc
 ere faith, which first lived in your grandmother Lois, then in your mo
 ther Eunice, and now, I’m certain, in you as well. That’s why I wa
 nt to remind you to fan into flame the gift of God, which is in you th
 rough the laying on of my hands. For God didn’t give us a spirit of 
 timidity, but a spirit of power, of love, of self-discipline.\n\nFrom:
  Martha Paxson Grundy, Tall Poppies: Supporting Gifts of Ministry and 
 Eldering in the Monthly Meeting, p. 27, Pendle Hill Publications.\n\n�
 ��Many Friends today are crying out for spiritual mentors, for ministe
 rs and elders who are lovingly steeped in our tradition. Some Friends 
 hunger for a deeper relationship with God, for a connection with a div
 ine power that heals and empowers. We long for wise and loving role mo
 dels and examples.”\n\nFrom: Patricia Loring, Listening Spirituality
  Vol. II, 1999.\n\n“As meetings became settled, elders performed a v
 ariety of functions, according to their gifts and leadings. . . . [A]l
 l gifts and ministries were for building up the spiritual life of the 
 meeting and the Society: directing and re-directing people to the Spir
 it of God, to the Inward Christ, the Light, the Inward Teacher, the Gu
 ide, the one true Priest and Shepherd. It was clearly understood that 
 any member of the meeting might be called to some part of this service
 , but that some were specifically led by the Spirit at any given time.
