Our safety therefore stands in keeping to the root of the ministry, the inspiration of the spirit, patiently waiting at all times to know our places and services in the ministry, that when we speak, it may be the word and mind of the spirit, and not our own... Samuel Bownas

Let it be called the Great Spirit of the Indian, the Quaker 'Inward Light' of George Fox, the 'Blessed Mary,' Mother of Jesus of the Catholics, or Brahman, the Hindu's God - they will be one, and there will come to be such a faith and liberty as shall redeem the world.
Lucretia Mott
March 2007 Newsletter
The first thing to note about the blessedness proclaimed in the beatitudes is that it is not a prize held out or promised as a final reward for a certain kind of conduct; it attaches by the inherent nature of things to a type of life, as light attaches to a luminous body, as motion attaches to a spinning top, as gravitation attaches to every particle of matter. To be this type of person is to be living the happy, blessed life, whatever the outward conditions may be. And the next thing to note is that this type of life carries in itself a principle of advance. One reason why it is a blessed type of life is that it cannot be arrested, it cannot be static. The beatitude lies not in attainment, not in the arrival at a goal, but in the way, in the spirit, in the search, in the march....Rufus Jones (1916)
