Living Adventurously
Central & Southern Africa Yearly Meeting has written its own faith and practice. Hans Noak, who lived in Southern Africa for many years, reviews it.
‘Before we love others we need to love ourselves. How do we treasure our own Light and gifts. How do we learn to share what we have to offer? Do you seek to find the place where your own talents and the world’s needs meet?’ This is number one of the Advices and Queries (A&Qs) adopted by Central & Southern Africa Yearly Meeting. They wrote their own Quaker faith and practice: Living Adventurously to meet their needs. It is an inspiring story of small groups of scattered Friends – a story of worship and of listening to the spirit of Christ in prayer and obedience to the inner prompting of Love. Living Adventurously is a record of individual lives lived in a stressful political environment. I glanced at the names of contributors and recognised among them personal friends and fellow workers.
