Quaker faith and practice is useful in guiding personal worship and for offering inspiration from those who have gone before. It offers thoughts on different aspects of life and help in dealing with problems, such as old age, a life of service to the community, sharing the world's resources. It is made up of sections beginning with the 'Advices and queries', a chapter on approaching God in worship and in prayer, church government at various levels, caring for one another, responsibilities within the society, procedures for marriage, funerals and memorial meetings, and then extracts dealing with the origins of our Religious Society, living faithfully today, personal journeys, close relationships, social responsibility, the peace testimony, the unity of creation and reflections on our experiences. The book ends with sections on unity and diversity, and on sharing and passing on the Quaker experience. The book shows the ways of life, both individual and corporate, which have sprung from our faith and the testimonies into which we have been guided.
It includes accounts of the lives of individual Friends whose commitment is an example to us and the statements and descriptions of our faith that spring from our experience. The last chapter indicates some of the ways in which the Holy Spirit is still known among us challenging us to create anew a Society in which human lives are changed."synopsis" may belong to another edition of this title.
