The Quaker Way of worship has always been a mystic way.
Seekers broke away from liturgy, dogma and creed to discover that worship may be centred on direct communion with the Divine Spirit. This power for direct communication with God lies at the heart of everyone.
George Fox, the founder of the Quaker movement, proved to be a mystic who ranks with the great Catholic medieval mystics. Like them, he followed the path of the historic Jesus. For 350 years, that way has nourished generations of Quakers. It is a spiritual path that speaks to the deep needs of our time.
Breakthrough to Unity aims to induct seekers into the mystical tradition through understanding and practice. It shows how mysticism is the raw material of all religions; looks at early and contemporary mystics; examines the parts played by surrender, love, authority and the priesthood of all. It introduces the celebrated mystic, Meister Eckhart.
The booklet is for practical use, alone at home or worshiping in a community. It will also make for lively group discussion.
