Synopsis

Quaker meetings in Britain today encounter unprecedented diversity of belief and religious language. How do we better understand – and work creatively with – the tension between traditional Christian faith and emerging expressions of Quakerism? The two authors developed the “Rooted in Christianity, Open to New Light” project for Woodbrooke Quaker Study Centre. This is the book they have written from the project, in which they explore the issues that spiritual diversity raises for Quakers individually and corporately, and the challenges and rewards of being a diverse, inclusive community of faith.
