On Living with a Concern for Gospel Ministry

Immersed in Prayer

When I was a child, I craved quiet places where I could be alone with my feelings. Sometimes I would go along the side of the house where camellia and pomegranate grew or down the stone steps to a small orchard under a tangerine tree in full fruit. Later in life, when I was old enough to be trusted, I would venture to a meadow and lie down in the tall grasses or climb high in a tree.
I have noticed that more young adults have been coming to our meetings for worship since we reopened our meetinghouse after COVID. Perhaps the pandemic gave them time to reflect. Young adulthood is naturally a time of choosing the values one will live by. I think the young people who visit our meeting are looking for ways to practice their values with other people.
That Clear and Certain Sound

What rings true? Something with “that clear and certain sound.”
Within the circumstances of our lives, the Light meets us. As we recognize the Light’s presence in the events of our lives, we see the lived testimony of the Light in our experience.

Dear Editor:
Chuck Fager’s “Unfamiliar Arid Country” in the Nov/Dec 2021 issue of Western Friend rekindled for me fertile memories of Jim Corbett. The reprinting of Corbett’s book Goatwalking is authentic Good News, i.e. Gospel for our times

From 2011 to 2017, five or six times a year, West Hills Friends published a journal called Minding the Light.
