Way to go: Lesley Richards’ Thought for the Week

‘A lot has changed in Quaker circles.’

by Lesley Richards 10th January 2025

Some people say ‘a way will open’ or ‘the way will open’, but I know this phrase simply as ‘way will open’, without a definite or indefinite article. There aren’t many ways forward, and nor is there just one and only perfect way. In Quaker phraseology we mean sitting with something that will need to change, or need to be done, but that the way forward isn’t clear yet. We sit with it, in the faith that clarity will come.
