Summer 2019 Quarterly Meeting: August 16-18, 2019
We have invited Peter Husby and Linnea Wang to lead an exploration into the linkages between Spirit, service, and action.
Theme: From Spirit to Action and Action to Spirit
Peter and Linnea are Friends who feel led to understand and advocate for those who have been called “the least of these,” people who find themselves at the bottom of the economic and social structure. Peter and Linnea will share their own spiritual journeys, how they struggled to find their own voices and live more authentically. Their motivations along the way have ranged from frivolous to the slightly more virtuous. They have been surprised to find themselves in interesting
circumstances near and far.
What has their story to do with You? Their searching reached into the depths of their being and continues to compel them to improve the world as they see it. Their experience will ask you to look deeply into your life, seeking how God/Spirit has gifted you, guided you, stretched you. What is guidance? How do you know that it is even real? Can we tell if it really comes from Spirit? What is it?
These are the questions Linnea and Peter will explore. No one can answer or explain the mystery of life, but each of us has rich experience upon which to see at least some glimmer of why we are here. We can also briefly explore the many ways we can be invited to serve the world, from action to contemplation, vision, service and the arts, each of us is called to be our most true selves.
