This again! I'm really enjoying going through Advices and Queries like this. I find that I understand myself better when writing than when thinking, and I'm finding that this is enriching my experience of Meeting for Worship. It's interesting to realise how easily I'm falling back into Quaker worship, and the extent to which the Quaker values I was taught at school have stuck with me and shaped me. Anyway, on with the post.

6. Do you work gladly with other religious groups in the pursuit of common goals? While remaining faithful to Quaker insights, try to enter imaginatively into the life and witness of other communities of faith, creating together the bonds of friendship.
- Quaker Faith and Practice, Advices and Queries

I have friends and loved ones of many faiths and none. I love finding the commonalities and differences between faiths, and I love that this can lead me to new ways of looking at my beliefs and convictions. I don't have loads to say about this one, probably partly because I can feel my brain fog getting heavier by the second, but this openness to other faiths is one of the things that really draws me to Quakerism particularly because of my own multi-path approach to religion.
