The Light Within: Then and Now

By Rex Ambler

Pendle Hill Pamphlet #425 (June 2014)

Price: $7.50

Synopsis

When contemporary Friends speak to each other of the Light Within, do we have a shared understanding of what we mean? Is it the same Light that George Fox spoke of? Rex Ambler explores how early Friends thought about and engaged with the Light in ways that have mostly been lost to Friends today. How could we be enriched – as individuals and as a community – by recovering some of the early Quaker experiences of Light? Discussion questions included.
