Friends' way of worship "evokes from deep within us at once an affirmation and a celebration, an affirmation of the reality of that Light which illumines the spiritual longing of humanity, and a celebration of the continual resurrection within us of the springs of hope and love; a sense that each of us is, if we will, a channel for a power that is both within and beyond us." (Lorna M. Marsden, 1986, from Philadelphia Yearly Meeting Faith and Practice)

Query:
Are we open to this power in our lives, allowing ourselves to be a channel of Light, Love and Community in a world where division and loneliness act as a fog to keep us from truly knowing one another?
