The Friends Journal “From the Editor’s Desk” blog began as ideas for future which I posted here on Quaker Ranter. At a certain point I realized I should share it on Friends Journal website directly. But I still want readers here to know about upcoming issues and to share them to potential writers. Don’t underestimate your ability to inspire: often an article’s birth starts with an experienced friend suggesting a topic to a new writer. If you know a Quaker who might have something interesting to say on this topic, please share this with them. Here’s an excerpt to my Editor’s Desk blog post.
Thin spaces is a term mystics use for those places where our human world and the Divine come closer together. They’ll often cite those historic sacred spaces that catch our breath when we enter, locations where one can feel the echoes of generations of worshipers.
But for Friends, every place has the potential of being a thin space. Indeed, perhaps every place is already brimming over with divinity and only waits on our ability to settle. Our physical spaces testify to that ethos by making worship rooms plain, unconsecrated, and functional, and our worship is based on a divine imminence that needs no pastor or liturgical ritual.
