‘There’s something quite intimate about writing letters.’

by Chris Holt 2nd June 2023

This year The Prison Phoenix Trust (The PPT), celebrates thirty-five years supporting the spiritual lives of people in prison. It was founded by volunteers and continues to be powered by them – including a significant number who are Quakers. At the heart of The PPT’s work is a deep trust in the power of silence.

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.
