Primitive Christianity Revived, Again

When has your longing for God's Presence been unfulfilled?

Greetings, Friends! 

Thirteen responses to the query "When has your longing for God's Presence been unfulfilled" are included in Chapter 2 of Minding the Light (attached). 

 

Minding the Light: Our Collective Journal is a bimonthly collection of personal stories from the lives of members and attenders of West Hills Friends.   Each issue is organized around a query.  The query for Chapter 1 was "When did you first recognize the Light?"

 

Our stories affirm the Quaker testimony that God can be known experimentally.  We hope that sharing our stories will transform our way of seeing God and each other and will bring comfort to those who seek news of God’s presence in the world. 

 

Blessings!

Sally Gillette

My longing for God's presence goes unfulfilled much of the time.  It is the somewhat rare times when I do feel His presence that I "bank" and draw from to keep going spiritually.  I just now realize that you have some links to *Minding the Light*, which I have not yet looked at.

Thank you for your response, William.  I appreciate it.

Thanks.  This is a moving collection.  What a wonderful project!  I remember fondly the time I was able to visit West Hill Friends after attending a conference at George Fox.

This is such a beautiful collection of reflections and challenging perspectives.  I'm so grateful to have the opportunity to share community with such an authentic group of Friends here in Portland!  Thank you so much for sharing.  Looking forward to the next query and responses.
