The Religious Society of Friends recognizes that all are called to minister in response to promptings from the living Spirit, whether through service, ministry, teaching, hospitality or administration. All ministries are important for the well-ordered functioning of the spiritual body. Each Friend has particular gifts and qualities to bring, and all are called to find their place of service.
To quote George Fox’s Journal, Nickall’s edition, “And this is the word of the Lord God to you all, and a charge to you all in the presence of the living God, be patterns, be examples in all countries, places, islands, nations, wherever you come; that your carriage and life may preach among all sorts of people, and to them. Then you will come to walk cheerfully over the world, answering that of God in every one; whereby in them ye may be a blessing, and make the witness of God in them to bless you.”
