Synopsis
Eldering is a process of assisting one another, from a centered place, to stay true and faithful to the Spirit in all aspects of our lives. Eldering is a component in the life of a spiritual community that was well known among early Friends, came to be misunderstood, and to a great extent has fallen out of practice. Today Margery Mears Larrabee, author of this essay, and other Friends are urging us to rediscover eldering as a valuable practice that can nurture the spiritual lives of individual Friends and of Friends meetings. Decades of experience, wisdom, and deep reflection are contained in these pages.
