The Quaker Vision (in Universalist Terms)
God/SPIRIT
God/Spirit is the source and the
life power animating all that exists
ORDER
There is an order/logic to all that exists
that is established by God/Spirit
RELATIONSHIP
We are in relationship with God/Spirit
and all that exists
(This can be either right
relationship or dysfunctional relationship)
IMMEDIATE AND DIRECT ACCESS
God/Spirit is present and directly available
to everyone inwardly and spiritually
Internal transformation
If we turn to God/Spirit and allow this
power to work within us we can experience an internal spiritual transformation
that brings us into harmony with God/Spirit, each other and the order of
creation.
External transformation
Internal transformation leads to
external transformation. Being in harmony with God/Spirit and the order of
creation reveals itself in a transformed state of being in the world.
WHOLENESS/DYNAMIC HARMONY
Wholeness/dynamic harmony is established
progressively and incrementally as each part of creation is transformed and brought into line
with God/Spirit and the order God/Spirit has given to creation.
