Wait, and see: Matt Rosen on Quaker Spring
‘I find myself helped to surrender my expectations’
For a few years, I’ve been attending gatherings of Quaker Spring, a community of Friends from many countries and Quaker traditions who come together to listen to the inward Christ. Quaker Spring grew out of a concern of North American young adult Friends to know the depth of Christ’s presence and power. They had experienced the busyness of Yearly Meetings and conferences – the packed agendas, and intense responsibilities of role-holders – and they yearned for time left open to the Spirit’s movement. They hoped to be refreshed and renewed, and then led into a world in need of the healing power they had encountered.
