The fruits of conversation
Jez Smith reviews a new book examining the range of beliefs among Quakers
Rooted in Christianity, Open to New Light – Quaker spiritual diversity by Timothy Ashworth and Alex Wildwood, Pronoun Press in partnership with Woodbrooke. ISBN 978 0 955 6183 3 8. £9. This book comes at the same time as the deadline of the Friends Quarterly essay competition on the future of Quakerism in Britain and in some ways it could have been an entry. For, in essence, Rooted in Christianity is about the future of the Religious Society of Friends in Britain. Tim is Christian and Alex isn’t. They talk a lot. In private or in public, as they did during their visits to Meeting houses. Then they write about their own experience and each other’s.
