Workshop w Michael Wajda

Venue: Detroit Friends Meeting

The workshop, Exploring the "Secret Power" Among Us, takes up what Robert Barclay, a 17th-century Quaker publicist, called the secret power among us. Friends then and Friends today have had many names for this Inward Light and many experience it quite differently, if at all. During this two-and-a-half-hour workshop we will explore this power individually and together. How does it show up in our individual and corporate experiences? What difference does it make in our lives? How might we broaden and deepen our experience of and commitment to this Inward Teacher?

Hosted by Detroit Friends Meeting (19309 Greenfield Road, Detroit MI 48235)

Michael Wajda currently serves as clerk of the Steering Committee for the Quaker Call to Protect Democracy.
