Advices and Queries for June.

7.  Be aware of the spirit of God at work in the ordinary activities and experience of your daily life.  Spiritual learning continues throughout life, and often in unexpected ways.  There is inspiration to be found all around us, in the natural world, in the sciences and arts, in our work and friendships, in our sorrows as well as in our joys.  Are you open to new light, from whatever source it may come?  Do you approach new ideas with discernment?

16. Do you welcome the diversity of culture, language and expressions of faith in our yearly meeting and in the world community of Friends?  Seek to increase your understanding and to gain from this rich heritage and wide range of spiritual insights.  Uphold your own and other yearly meetings in your prayers.
