QUERIES
- John Woolman
said, "As Christians all we possess are
the gifts of
God...To turn all the treasures we possess into the channel of
Universal Love becomes the business of our lives." The principle of
stewardship applies to all we have and are.
- As
individuals we are called to use our time, our
various abilities our strength, our money, and our material possessions
with care, managing them wisely and sharing them generously.
- Friends recognize the interdependence of the natural world. Our task is to protect the environment for future generations and to live in such a way that humanity and its technology find a profound harmony with all creatures.
- Do
I live simply, and promote the right sharing of
the world's
resources?
- Am I a good steward of my talents,
time, money, and
possessions, sharing them according to the Light I am given?
- Do we cherish the earth and seek to live in such a
way that sustains it?
- In managing the activities and business of the Meeting, do we weigh the environmental consequences that may result from various choices?
