Can Quakers be prophets? - preview
The message from Dublin is clear
Friends from all parts of the world and from different Quaker traditions gathered in Ireland this week to ask a pressing question – what can we say today?
In opening the Friends World Committee for Consultation (FWCC) Triennial Marion McNaughton spelled out the dilemma modern Friends face Are they a spiritual or an active people?
Exploring the Judaic tradition of prophecy, she traced the beginnings of a new form in Paul's advice to the Corinthians This heralded a new communal prophecy 'Instead of being the fearful community of Moses, standing a long way off, unwilling and unable to hear the word of God directly, dependent on their prophet to mediate God to them, we have an empowered prophetic community, sharing the gift, able to hear and respond to the Holy Spirit directly,' she said
