Living well, dying well

Peggy Heeks considers the concept of a ‘completed life’

by Peggy Heeks 22nd July 2016

Given that we are living longer, it’s no surprise that life’s ending has become a major topic of interest. This year it was the theme of Quaker Life Representative Council, and a well-attended discussion during Yearly Meeting, while – waiting in the wings – is a September course at the Woodbrooke Quaker Study Centre in Birmingham: ‘Living Well, Dying Well.’

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.
