35 – individually and collectively with God
36 • Quaker community – life in our meetings

39 • Church government – how we organise ourselves
40 • Our story – where we have come from and where we are going
41 • Advices & Queries

43 5 key insights:
44
45 1. We can all have direct access to God/Spirit/ the Divine. This
46 experience / encounter /relationship can transform us.
47
48 2. We live under guidance from God/Spirit/ the Light/ the promptings
49 of love and truth in our hearts
50
51 3. We recognise and seek to address that of God in each human being –
52 each of us is unique and precious
53
54 4. There is a dynamic Spirit bringing continuing revelation
55
56 5. We hold the whole of life sacramental and so we do not divide the
57 sacred and the secular
