Summary

This chapter begins with an account of a spiritual renewal among Friends that draws on a recovery of historic Quaker practices through the influence of Friends from the Conservative branch of Quakers and how this has enhanced the inward lives of other-than-Conservative Friends. This chapter then turns to the topic of contemporary Friends who have gone a step beyond drawing inspiration from the spirituality of other traditions, to the point of actively identifying with more than one religious community.
