Diane Rhoades will present a session on how we have come to our sense of faith and practice today

Hi Folks,

Sorry for late reminder but just got back to internet-enabled Juneau Alaska.

This Sunday, July 13 our own Diane Rhoades will present  

 a session on how we have come to our sense of faith and practice today. The Quakers assign great weight to the “still, small voice” that is present inside each of us.  This divine guidance, this internal voice, often runs contrary to the status quo.  Movements have succeeded with one still, small voice leading the way.John Woolman seeded the thought that slavery was immoral years before slavery was even challenged.  Susan B. Anthony sought the vote for women against great odds.  William Penn settled Pennsylvania and was able to establish community largely because he treated the native population fairly.  He went on to establish a public University unheard of at the time. He saw God in the natives, in the merchants, in the children of the rich and poor.  His small voice told him to see God in everyone.How do we see God in ourselves and each other? What is the most alive in us to listen to our own “still, small voice”?PRESENTER: Diane Rhoades. Diane became a Quaker in 1983 in the woods of Shelter Island.She was amazed to worship in silence in the middle of the woods with no formal minister and where no bulldozer had to make the way open for her to sit and be still.
