Centring Down with Compassion

Advice and Queries 19, Rejoice in the presence of children and young people in your meeting and recognise the gifts they bring. Remember that the meeting as a whole shares a responsibility for every child in its care. Seek for them as for yourself a full development of God’s gifts and the abundant life Jesus tells us can be ours. How do you share your deepest beliefs with them, while leaving them free to develop as the spirit of God may lead them? Do you invite them to share their insights with you? Are you ready both to learn from them and to accept your responsibilities towards them?

In advices and queries (42 short quaker passages) we are invited to "take heed". What does that feel like? What would it be like to live our lives from a more heedful place. This recording done last summer has some back ground traffic noise... I invite you to take heed of the noise and let it come and go! Warm wishes Friends!

Quakers use the Advices and Queries to encourage reflection. In number 17 we explore the importance of wise speech and to consider "that we might be mistaken"

This wonderful Advice invites us to move past the armouring of our defences and judgements and open to the diversity that creates a healthy meeting.
