In this single live session, we will reflect on a number of short passages from the writings of Isaac Penington (1616-1679) that help us gain a deeper understanding of Quaker spirituality. How do these words speak to us today?
Throughout his writings, Isaac Penington used powerful metaphors to point to the inward experience of divine intimacy as ‘sweet experience’, and expressed scepticism about the value of rational argument. During this session, we will stay close to Penington’s actual words and phrases, and consider their resonances for us today.
