Another Spiritual Gathering

Eye is touched to hear that Sutton Meeting's Tuesday discussion group wind up their 'terms' with an evening going through recent issues of The Friend, choosing pieces they have liked.

The group meets at the home of Gordon Steel. 'These evenings seem to go very well' reports Gordon, 'I regard them as Friend promotion evenings.' And so do we Gordon!

The discussion group was taken with a Comment piece in 18 May (the editor on one of her favourite topics of spiritual writing) and made a suggestion that we might pluck out some spiritual pieces from issues long ago.

That might well throw some light on whether perceptions of spirituality change over time. Which makes us think that Sutton friends could have contributed - their Tuesday group is forty years old in September.
