Four Archetypal Quaker Roles: Deepening Community Through Sharing Our Gifts
Quakers have long understood that different gifts are stewarded by different Friends in the Meeting. In modern times, conversations about the gifts individuals carry has sometimes gotten confused with social dynamics of hierarchy or ego that many of us experience in other settings. This interactive workshop will be a chance to learn about the ways Friends have honored the gifts of Elders, Ministers, Healers, and Activists (though not always using those titles) and explore how these gifts are alive among your Meeting.
