[saymaListserv] Re: Talking about Jesus (Mike Shell)

[Geeta Jyothi Mcgahey]

Thank-you Mike.  I am a non-Christocentric Friend and I sent this out to 
our whole meeting.  We must learn to hear about and feel comfortable with 
the different ways that we as Friends have experienced the "Transforming 
Power".  The strength of our meetings rests in the ability to hear in each 
others' language that which speaks to all of us in  our Faith Community.
In the Light,
Geeta Jyoti

best if we do this without rage or hostility. With inner tranquility and an 
honest readiness, we can work hard for thirty, forty years" -
