Being human and priest

Mark Bredin reflects on being human, compassion and the vulnerable

The image of a divine seed within every human being is a central one for Quakers. Seeds need nourishment in order to grow. Lack of nourishment leads the seedling to wither. The divine seed needs nourishing through seeking the best for others, especially the vulnerable. Quakers believe that the divine seed within us is calling us to be as God intended: to be human and priest.
