'The church that shakes in the wind of the spirit’ - full text - preview
Friends:
When Agenda Committee suggested that I should read some inspiring early Quaker writing on the first night of BYM I took it on cheerfully, just as I do everyday I even walk cheerfully No problem I thought:
Our life is love and peace and tenderness;
We do utterly deny all outward wars;
Be patterns, be examples;
Perhaps an inspiring and beautiful passage from Wordsworth, who had Quaker friends;
Or even, “Dear Mother Earth, by the bright sky above thee, I love thee, O I love thee', with its message for sustainability, by TE Brown, Victorian poet and Anglican parson
Gerard Benson
