It is grounded in the central Quaker conviction of the availability to every person of the experience and guidance of God, immediate as well as mediated. Discernment is the faculty we use to distinguish the true movement of the Spirit to speak in meeting for worship from the wholely human urge to share, to instruct, or to straighten people out. It is the capacity we exercise in a centered meeting for worship for the conduct of business to sense the right course for the meeting to take in complex or difficult circumstances. It is the ability to see into people, situations, and possibilities to identify what is of God in them and what is of the numerous other sources in ourselves – and what may be both. It is that fallible, intuitive gift we use in attempting to discriminate the course to which we are personally led by God in a given situation, from our other impulses and from the generalized judgment of conscience. This pamphlet articulates the use of clearness committees as instruments of discernment in the tradition of Quaker spirituality and practice. This essential pamphlet defines discernment and the need for it, gives guidelines for discerning leadings, and discusses leadings and the role and guidelines for clearness committees as an instrument for discernment. The discussion of leadings, including the relationship of leadings to our spiritual growth into our true selves, is clear, insightful, challenging, and wise. The explanation of the responsibility of meetings for spiritual nurture and support in discernment is important and challenging for our meetings. Loring builds the case for modern clearness practice by looking first at early Friends and the way they came to view discernment. When she finally describes the ideal process we see that it is not the all too often case of Friendly Advice but rather a holy space where the focus person is gently yet truthfully guided to query their inward guide for discernment. sem críticas | adicionar uma crítica
