A quiet joy

Rosalind Smith contemplates things that are eternal

by Rosalind Smith 1st June 2018

During Meeting for Worship recently it was brought home to me by some ministry that we should not – need not – dwell so much on the problems of the world. They will come and go, always.

We should dwell on the things that are eternal not, as it says Colossians 3:2, ‘on things on the earth’.

Wayfaring: A Guide To Guidance

"If you truly want to be led you must put yourself in a position that allows following" (PYM)

Though written within a Quaker and Christian context, this book can be used by anyone of any religious faith or secular inclination. The only requirement is a desire to follow, to be guided by, to align with the richness of the ineffable, which this book calls "the Way". This book seeks nothing less than to aid readers in aligning their lives with the same power and richness that animated the life of Jesus of Nazareth.
