Silence and Witness
Silence and Witness: The Quaker Tradition | Michael Lawrence Birkel
1 post | 1 read
The Quaker spiritual tradition integrates mystical insight with prophetic witness. Michael Birkel tells the story of the movement's origins, describes how the distinctive Quaker practice of group worship in silence developed, and explains how "collective discernment" is used in decision-making. He explores the historical development of the "testimonies", the ethical stands taken by Quakers for peace, justice, equality, integrity and simplicity.

To anyone who is interested or Quaker curious, this is a good introduction to it. This is one of the oldest sects of Christianity in North America.
