Synopsis

A fundamental element of the life of a Friends meeting is a longing to care for one another in ways that are deeply grounded in love and in the presence of the Spirit. Grounded in God covers both the timeless and repeating cycles within the life of a meeting as well as the particular problems of our times. Those interested in serving their meeting as caregivers and the people who are members of ministry and care, ministry and nurture, or worship and care committees can use this book to enhance their skills. As a meeting community nurtures care, deals with the problems that develop, and listen to each other, it creates a climate for the Spirit to grow deep and strong. Includes questions for reflection, bibliography, and index.
