Being a Quaker: a guide for newcomers
Trish Carn reviews the new book by Geoffrey Durham
There is a difference between ‘narrow’ casting and ‘broad’ casting. In the first you are talking to the converted. In the second you assume little and communicate your message in an open, inclusive and engaging manner. If you can do so with humour, humility and a touch of irreverence then all the better.
Geoffrey Durham is a ‘broad’ caster. He wants to talk outwardly to the world, to cast his net widely, and he does so very attractively in his new book Being a Quaker: a guide for newcomers. It is extremely informative, although written in a friendly, almost conversational, tone.
