Intimations of Renewal in New York Yearly Meeting

As Friends we are familiar with the practice of sharing our individual spiritual journeys. Perhaps less common among Friends today is the understanding that as a people of God, we are also on a corporate journey. In this lecture, Linda B. Chidsey tells the story of God's presence and work among Friends in New York Yearly Meeting the past fifteen years. As she shares "intimations of renewal in NYYM," she asks Friends everywhere to listen for resonances within their own Yearly Meetings and invites them to begin telling their stories. She poses the questions: Where do you feel God's presence among you? what intimations of Life and renewal are present, this moment, in your midst?
