August 2008 – Listen, Hear and Act
The third series of the Children’s Work edition of Journeys in the Spirit focuses on exploring the concept of Quakers, a people of God. The issues alternate between offering ways for children to learn about, and explore, Quaker spirituality and ways to find out about what Quakers are doing in the world.
This issue explores how Quakers make decisions. It is intended as an introduction to the Quaker Business Method, the practice of discernment, and Meetings for Clearness, as well as thinking about why Quakers make decisions in this way. It can help develop and encourage children’s participation.
