Hereford Quakers Newsletter
December 2017
Faith is not certainty. It is risk. It is a not-knowing. It involves the attempt to trust and to test whatever insight or revelation is given, trying to hold on while asking questions, many of which do not have answers.
(Harvey Gillman, from The Friends Quarterly Issue 3, 2017)
