Every two decades since its incorporation in 1930, Friends Meeting of Washington has given an account of those aspects of its life that most bear remembering and most fully convey a sense of its spiritual growth and challenges. This history of the Meeting from 1972 to 1992 is particularly notable because of events that brought the Meeting to a deeper sense of its divine leadings.

5.0 out of 5 stars Fascinating glimpse into social issues of 70s and 80s, August 25, 2010

This review is from: Seeking the Sense of the Meeting: A History of Friends Meeting of Washington (Paperback)

This thoughtful and engaging compilation of essays and historical records from the 70s and 80s gives a fresh view of the social issues (Vietnam, homelessness, gay rights and many others) from these two decades. Some of these issues continue to be argued on a national level today, but this is a local and personal account of the impact of these grand arguments on individuals and this congregation. This book will be interesting to anyone in or outside of the church that lived through this era, or to those still involved in the social changes the Quakers helped bring about.
