 January/February 2000 (XXXVIII 1) |
everal parents at Wilmington Meeting (DE) recently attended a three-part seminar entitled "Integrating Quaker Values into Family Life." Harriet Heath, a psychologist from Radnor Meeting (PA), led the learning experience. She has led similar study groups in the Philadelphia area for many years. This seminar allowed us to examine our Quaker values while discussing with other Quaker parents how these values can guide us in living and working with our children.
"We have to be reminded that spirituality is not a separate compartment of life but life itself," says Kathryn Damiano of the School of the Spirit. "What is ordinary is the major part of our lives. ... Ordinariness can be radical: it gets to the root of knowing God in everyday life."
Those of us attending this seminar sought to live our values everyday, including the care and nurturing of our precious children, as we seek the Great Spirit's Light.
