Unity

Different ways of understanding the divine life may occur among us. These differences should not be ignored for the sake of a superficial agree­ment. They should be recognized and understood, so that a deeper and more vital unity can be reached. Convictions which might divide or disrupt a Meeting can, through God’s grace, help to make it creative and strong. Friends should keep faith and fellowship with each other, waiting in the Light for that unity which draws them together in the love and power of God.

• When problems and conflicts arise, do we make timely endeavors to resolve them in a spirit of love and humility? How do we use our diversity for the spiritual growth of our Meeting?
• Are we prepared to let go of our individual desires and let the Holy Spirit lead us to unity?
