Angela Greenwood reflects on Experiment with Light

by Angela Greenwood 16th March 2018

At an Experiment with Light weekend that I attended I was reminded of the acronym MOWS (Mind, Open, Wait, Submit). It refers to a structure that Rex Ambler, a founder of the project and author of books such as Light to Live By: An exploration in Quaker Spirituality and The Quaker Way: a rediscovery, highlighted from the early Quaker practice of waiting, sometimes for long hours, in the Light.
