A new kind of family: Matt Rosen on unity in discernment

‘We need each other’s help to hear the still, small voice.’

by Matt Rosen 2nd January 2026

When I come to Meeting, or step again into the stream of worship in my daily life, I often realise that I’ve been abroad: worries and plans have kept me from attending fully to the inward voice of love. As I experience God’s work in my heart, I become aware of the many invitations each day to return to the Presence, hear God’s guidance, recognise God’s unearned and unchanging love, and move at the pace of prayer. I feel my deep need for help from a power greater than myself, and I hear God’s persistent call to come home, to the Light and Guide within.
