Before the Resurrection

Church Leadership & Ministry

“Before the Resurrection grows out of Emily’s deep observations from her extensive travel among Friends. To our benefit, Emily offers us her gift of sensing and naming what is—opening us to what might be made new within our Quaker communities. She says Quakers are a resurrection people, and she takes us though practical and meaningful ways a meeting can recognize and move through its life stages. Inspiring, challenging, and practical, I recommend this to anyone who is part of a beloved spiritual community.”
