Faith In Action Quaker Social Testimony

Where do we stand on lived witness, on social testimony? Both in the essay by
Jonathan Dale, which carries forward ideas expounded in his Swarthmore
Lecture of 1996, and the short contributions from many Friends, we get a glimpse of other people's experience of the living truth.

As Jonathan Dale says, 'The more the Light is followed, the deeper the joy and the readier we may be for the next step'. Quaker Books hopes that this book will inspire readers to think more on how we live out our testimonies in our lives, to develop a culture of mutual accountability, and to share the lessons from our own journeys.

When we say that God is love, the integrity of our claim is known by the degree to which it is lived out in our lives. The examples given here should provide much to stimulate further action by us all.
