"What I do hope, especially in this age of global internet and communication, is that we could learn a lot more from one another across countries, cultures, and Quaker traditions." The full Backhouse Lecture, delivered yesterday by Tim Gee at Quakers Australia's Yearly Meeting in Melbourne, is now available to watch on YouTube! (fb)

“Love your neighbour” as a lens for scripture... In a recent QuakerSpeak video, Tim Gee shares how Quakers can read the Bible in light of love, compassion, and direct relationship with the divine. Tim draws on the wisdom of Jewish teachers, Augustine, and his own experiences during the pandemic, and invites us to revisit scripture as a companion on our spiritual journey.
