Quakers share the belief that there is that of God in every person, whatever her or his faith, opinions, or place in the world.

At least we say we do.


Am I confident enough in that belief to regard every person I meet, see, or read about – from heads of state to victims of oppression or violence – as having the Holy Spirit within her or him no less than I; as having wisdom, love, forgiveness, and vast power within; as being a holy person?


Am I confident enough in the divinity within every person to seek not to affirm my worth in relation to others, but to affirm their essential worth - especially, when I can, to them?
