Description

As Quakers expressed and reflected upon their experience of life under the guidance of the spirit of Christ, they developed a wealthy vocabulary to explain those experiences. This vocabulary played a very powerful role in Quaker spiritual formation and community life from the beginning of the movement in 1650, and continues nowadays as brand new seekers wrestle with describing their experiences.

When Bill Taber died in 2005, he left in the back of notes on a project: “A language for the inward landscape.” Key phrases provide essential insights into the nature of inward experience through the years and can assist people explore their spiritual experience with an enriched vocabulary. Brian Drayton compiled these notes and expanded them.

Readers (both Quaker and non-Quaker) might find this language conveys a distinctive ‘alternative Christianity’ combining mystical and prophetic experiences with God and in community.
