Spirit Rising - Young Quaker Voices

From the Book Jacket:

Spirit Rising: Young Quaker Voices celebrates, critiques, questions, and reflects on the Quaker faith experience. Writing and visual art by teenage and young adult Quakers from around the world and across the theological and cultural spectrum of the Religious Society of Friends give readers a window on the spiritual riches and witness these Friends offer. The contributors in this volume challenge and inspire, as they witness to and celebrate Quakerism as it has been, as it is, and as it could yet be. The voices here come together in a symphony, cacophonous but also deeply resonant. Listen and you will hear that their Spirit - here called by many names - is undeniably rising.

This new book is available through QuakerBooks of Friends General Conference, as well as an interview with the Angelina Conti, a young adult Friend from Philadelphia Yearly Meeting who served as the Project Coordinator for Spirit Rising.
