Pendle Hill’s Reading Group (May)

“The term prophetic indicates in a single word the basic theory of Quaker ministry. . . . a ministry which waits until it becomes a vocal expression of the Divine Word spoken immediately in the heart.” —-Bill Taber

Pendle Hill’s Reading Group focuses on Pendle Hill pamphlets and other Quaker readings, gathering to consider queries about the reading in a spirit of worship sharing.

In May, we will be reading the classic pamphlet The Prophetic Stream (PHP #256) by Bill Taber. This pamphlet explores the connection between Old and New Testament prophets, Jesus, and Quaker religious experience. You can purchase a copy of this publication at the following links:

PH pamphlet (printed edition)

Amazon Kindle (e-book)

Barnes & Noble Nook (e-book)

Thanks to the generous support of the Friends Foundation for the Aging, we’re able to make this and other free, online programs accessible to f/Friends of all ages.
