In STEP with Quaker Testimony

The STEP in the title stands for simplicity, truth, equality and peace - principles at the heart of Quakerism and in the writings of Margaret Fell (1614–1702), who was the wife of George Fox. The book explains the background of Quakerism in terms of ideas and practice before considering the four main themes. There are extracts from the writings, followed by adaptations, ideas and notes, highlighting particular themes such as the simplicity of silence and stillness, light as truth, equality of ministry, personal peace, and striving for peace in the world. There is a challenging directness and inner focus that 'can speak to our condition' in our journey towards wholeness, where we are all still works in progress.
