Tall Poppies, Supporting Gifts of Ministry and Eldering in the Monthly Meeting
Ironically, many Friends today are crying out for spiritual mentors, for ministers and elders who are lovingly steeped in our tradition. Some Friends hunger for a deeper relation with God, for a connection with divine power that heals and empowers. We long for wise and loving role models and examples. But in the current sometimes ignorant and poverty-stricken state of our Religious Society, those whom God is raising up too rarely have the informed, prayerful support they need to function as fully as God would have them.
This pamphlet began as a Monday Night lecture in the fall 1998 Pendle Hill series on "Challenging some Quaker Assumptions." It draws together ideas from several yearly meetings and individuals. The hope is that a local meeting, facing an emerging gift of ministry in its midst, might have some tools for nurturing, supporting, and overseeing the ministry and the minister.
