Turnaround : growing a twenty-first century… di Benjamin Lloyd
Like many Friends, Benjamin Lloyd is deeply concerned about the future of our Religious Society. Why are we diminishing in numbers when we have so much to offer? In this essay, he presents his own creative ideas and encouragement for a reinvigoration of our meeting communities. Which of our traditions and practices should we renew? And where are the places where continuing revelation calls us to be open to the winds of change that will come with the next generation of Quaker leaders?
