Do you yearn for spiritual deepening in the manner of Friends? Are you led to help leaven a deeper connection with the Divine within your meeting? The School of the Spirit is a ministry of prayer and learning that supports those who seek to be more faithful listeners and responders to the movement of the Spirit through the Inward Teacher, the inward work of Christ. Learn more in this conversation.
“Why do young people disconnect from the spiritual home of their childhood?” As one of those disconnected young people who grew up in an evangelical church, I’ve spent a lot of time in my role as clerk of religious education, pondering how children might experience more connectedness in our Meeting.
Thanks to Elizabeth Price, Richmond (VA) Friends Meeting for this amazing story!

WALKING IN THE WORLD AS A FRIEND: ESSENTIAL QUAKER PRACTICES by Nadine Hoover provides a foundation for this Online Community Practice Group beginning Monday, Sept 16, 2024. We meet monthly on third Mondays, Sept – Nov to enrich adult Quaker Religious Education for ourselves and our meetings/churches.
Practices like journaling and spiritual companions help us live into the roles of minister, steward and witness, as we tend the inward life (minister), align our outward lives to our inward life (steward), and let our lives speak and tell truths we know, publicly (witness).
These gatherings are for people who meet as companions (of 2-4 members) mutually committed to experiment with allowing the Living Spirit to guide and shape their lives, as expressed in their own words.
Like the Valiant 60 of Quaker history, Quaker religious educators (RE) are reaching out through a Facebook group to connect, share resources and ask questions of one another. Spirit is rising!
