Answering that of God: discovering Spirit within by Peter Parr
STOP PRESS. An updated version of Answering that of God is now available as an ebook under the title of Things to Remember: reflections on our true identity.
Quakers speak of 'that of God in everyone'. But what does this expression mean? And what would be the implications if we held an awareness of the Divine in everyone all of the time? What if we tried genuinely to live this belief day by day. minute by minute, in the encounters we have with our family, with our friends, at work, and in society at large?
Answering that of God is an invitation and a challenge to explore these questions. In seven sections it examines Who we are; reflects on the spiritual values that lie behind the Quaker witness to Truth, Equality, Simplicity and Peace; exhorts us to Let our Lives Speak, and finally, in Remembering, urges us to find daily ways of prompting ourselves to do so. Each sections offers scope for reflection.
This booklet (44 pages) speaks with a bold clarity both to the reader at home and to a study group looking for inspiring encounters.
