Friend, thee may find this good reading. People do use this book as a guide and inspiration. New England is working on a revised version, but don't wait to read it as the revision process takes years. Why? In part, because Friends (Quakers) make all decisions by reaching unity. We do not vote and we do not dictate, we rely on the Seed and the Guide, and our own halting, human ability to discern. I hope you enjoy the fruits of many years of seeking.
