We are a read-aloud and discussion “small group” about the practice of Quaker eldering that typically meets on 1st and 3rd Mondays on Zoom from 7:00-8:30 pm. Visitors are always welcome.
I have come to understand the process of eldering as discernment of the spiritual condition of each of the members of the faith community as revealed by their vocal ministry and other signs. An elder’s goal is not the correction of a person’s behavior but an improvement of their spiritual direction and health. —Lloyd Lee Wilson, Friendship Friends Meeting, Greensboro, North Carolina. Memoir, 235.
