Do Ye Not Know That Ye Are the Temple of God?

The 2022 Michener Lecture with Nancy Fennell

What does it mean for us, as individuals and as Quaker meeting communities, to be “the temple of God?” A temple is a place of worship and a place to serve under the leadings of God. Nancy Fennell shares spiritual practices that help both individuals and the community be ‘temples;’ and how our meetings can be, and are called to be, places of gathered worship, witness, service, love and compassion.

What Now? Interruption, Integration, & Transfiguration

The 2021 Walton Lecture with Emily Provance.

We’re in the midst of a time that’s anything but normal. We’re doing things differently, like it or not, and almost all of us are grieving: grieving loved ones, grieving predictability, grieving the condition of the world. We’re also hoping: hoping to reunite with dear ones, hoping for growth and new opportunities, hoping for something that feels like normal.
