Let the Seed Breathe in You and Act in You
“Do you have the wisdom and the heart to repent of all the things that might obstruct your service? Do you have the heart to forgive even the unforgivable? Do you have what it takes to love the unloveable, to walk and talk with those you think are your enemies? Will you be able to see everyone as belonging to the community of God and not otherwise?”
— Gladys Kang’ahi, 2004
Kenyan Quaker minister
