WELCOME

Welcome to A Ministry of Prayer and Learning devoted to the School of the Spirit.  This ministry serves the Religious Society of Friends (Quakers) and is dedicated to helping all those who wish to be more faithful listeners and responders to the inward work of Christ, the Inward Teacher.  The grounding is prayer.  The context is an increasing awareness of the movement in our lives between solitude (time alone with God) and community (familial, faith, social, global). This contemplative rhythm, defined by solitude and community and infused by prayer, is at the heart of the School of the Spirit Ministry.

"The School of the Spirit’s concern is with preparation for ministry through a deepening personal awareness of the inward presence of Spirit. It is crucially important to encourage the growth of this kind of ministry. If you want hope in the Religious Society of Friends, you will find it here.” - John Punshon
