Coming to Light

Cultivating Spiritual Discernment Through the Quaker Clearness Committee (Pendle Hill Pamphlets, Book 446)

Coming to Light explores the practice and process of the clearness committee, a means of spiritual discernment used by Quakers that has also proved helpful to many others. The author shares her personal experience of clearness committees, first as a member of the Religious Society of Friends and then as a retreat leader for the Center for Courage & Renewal, which uses the clearness committee as the center of its practice. The pamphlet includes a sample format of a clearness committee and material that may be used as handouts.

Thanks to the generous support of the Friends Foundation for the Aging, we’re able to make this and other online resources and programs accessible to f/Friends of all ages.
