Quakers and the Holy Spirit

Gill Pennington reflects on a recent experience

by Gill Pennington 27th July 2018

The keynote speech at a recent ecumenical conference at Ampleforth Abbey that I attended was entitled ‘Come Holy Spirit’. It was given by Graham Cray, a former bishop of Maidstone.

His inspiring talk and clear message spoke of the real abiding presence of the Holy Spirit as a partner in our lives today; of the stability that is assured when we recognise the Holy Spirit’s permanent indwelling presence; and of the challenges that are offered when we follow the guidance and trust the wisdom of the Holy Spirit.
