INSTRUCTOR
In this session, we reviewed statements from early Quakers about the Light Within and discussed the following questions, which are from Lloyd Lee Wilson: What is the Light? Where does the Light come from? What is the purpose of the Light? Is the Light for some people and not for others (is it universal)?
The discussion centered around the idea that the early Quakers were clear that the Light was the Light of Christ. The purpose of the Light was to illuminate the parts of a person that were problems. Unlike others of their day, the early Quakers believed that the Light was accessible for everyone.
