Supporting young Friends in their urgent leadings
“It is the vision of the Young Friends of the 1650s who went out throughout Britain and further abroad to call people to turn to that of God within and transform their world so that there might be a kind of Primitive Christianity Restored – a world in which we might truly see what love might do.
I believe the time has come to call forth and support Young Friends like the ‘Valiant 60’ from that era. We should provide home bases for them in the way that Margaret Fell’s home in Swarthmore did. We should join with them following the urgent leadings that our faith is working through us, amidst the fear and trembling that we may feel every time we check on the news of the day. And we should do so with the confidence that change is coming.”
