There's somethin' going on in Quakerism. Some kind of "grounding and centering", maybe. Quakers are re-examining what Quakerism is today, what it's for, what it's not for. How we can bring vitality to Quakerism by reaching out to each other, by reaching out to the world. Spreading the power of kindness. The power of fun, even. That's right, Quakers are having fun - odd as it sounds.
As we put ourselves together into a deeper community, we strengthen our ability to do the work of the Spirit.
Almost since the beginning, Quakers have taken notice of cruelty wherever it lives and worked hard to spread kindness in its place. Whether the cruelty is war, racism, or whatever - we don't discriminate (too much). I believe this is what Quakerism is grounding and centering around - spreading kindness in the place of pain and cruelty.
