This approach to unity could be a way to live with differences in belief within meetings and families and between meetings from different branches of the Society. I’m particularly concerned about Christian Quakers editing their language when speaking in liberal meetings. In my experience this is a large problem we ignore or solve by trying to speak in a language that is the lowest common denominator instead of speaking from the heart. Yes, Tom.

It was a labor of love lasting over a year, becoming several different papers along the way. Finally simpler looked better and then even simpler...in the end it felt like writing a Haiku poem.
