We recently received a request from a local cub scout group to visit Exeter Meeting House so that their members may earn their world faiths activity badges. It was a wonderful opportunity to engage with the wider community. What a positive message we are able to put forward! By following the principles of George Fox’s dictum to ‘walk cheerfully over the world… seeking that of God in everyone’, this provides a good, positive starting point for saying that this means we believe that everyone has a direct path to the Spirit. So, we are all ministers and congregation (at the same time) and is the reason why we have no paid minister to speak to ‘that of God’ on our behalf.
