RantWoman is very glad to see several Interest Groups which explicitly tend to community spiritual life. Centering and Discernment do not come automatically to RantWoman except when she tries to do social action without them.. RantWoman is going to have to consult the Fluffy Purple Chicken about whether just to blurt out that one cannot talk about any specific social action, campaign, public ministry (choose your terms) and Quaker testimonies without also talking about practices that foster centering and discernment.

The curriculum for a five-session adult education experience will be shared. The text is Brian Drayton & William Taber’s 2015 book, "A Language for the Inward Landscape." The focus is on four core tenets of the Society of Friends: (1) centering and discernment, (2) waiting and listening, (3) light and spirit, and (4) life and spirit of God. Education methods are worship sharing and worshipful discussion. For a video introduction to this topic,
The book "A Language for the Inner Landscape" goes on RantWoman's mean to read list.

RantWoman, CHILL, just CHILL for now. Enough people think you are nuts already without getting advice from a fuzzy purple chicken. Work on TEAMWORK.
Okay, okay.....
