12 December 1987 F RIENDS J o uRNAL towards the sacraments and other re­ ligious rituals and customs with many Friends, I often hear a taint of arro­ gance in their responses. There is a tendency to look down on these prac­ tices and traditions as spiritual crutches. There is in too many of us a hubris re­ garding our practice-an all-too-prideful assumption about being beyond the place where we ever need the outward to bring us to the experience of the in­ ward. There is a tendency among Friends to look on people and religions holding on to such traditions as lacking Quaker­ ism's spiritual maturity, even as being stuck in some sort of semi-superstitious mode. If this attitude is as widespread in Quaker ranks as it sometimes appears to be, then a word of caution is much in order.

14 December 1987 FRIENDS JouRNAL us realizing it. Robert Miller sat on a facing bench directly in front of the place where I regularly sat. I suspect that some inner stirring made me choose that place, though it seemed coincidental at the time. Gradually I came to pay less attention to patterns in the rug and more attention to Robert Miller. He was well into his middle age, tall, slender, well muscled, his dark hair fringed with white. He sat with perfect posture, his eyes closed, and his classic face in repose. He never moved. I don't remember him ever speaking. Week after week he sat down and settled in­ stantly into centered stillness while I squirmed and watched. I watched for several years, squirming less as time passed, accepting his outward discipline, encouraged by his inner radiance. Then, several Sundays in a row, he didn't appear. I learned that he had become seriously ill, that it might be a long time before he came back. His absence, unsettling at first, challenged me to assimilate what I had observed. Within a few weeks I put my squirming behind me. My mind slowed down, centered more often-ten, ·even 15 minutes. The breaking of meeting oc­ casionally surprised me. Robert Miller finally returned. He had become an old man, stooped, his hair completely white. He resumed his place on the facing bench and I kept mine facing him. During this time, with his unknowing encouragement, I drew still closer to my center. One year I found myself seated across from him at a large dinner party. "I've been meaning to thank you for a long time," I said. "You taught me to be a Quaker." He asked me to explain. When I did he was amazed. The ministers among us nurture us.

FRIENDS JoURNAL December 1987 19 Marty Walton ary Daly, the feminist (at desk) philosopher, explains that a speaks with basic component of feminist Friends General Conference analysis is to question assumptions. Our co-worker reality is based on assumptions usually Gretta Stone. formulated by those in power, which limits our perspective, questions, and creativity. Daly says feminists are re­ quired to "double, double, unthink" to examine these preconceived assumptions and to begin to trust our own ex­ periences. A similar process exists in Quakerism where the primary source of authority is the discernment of the Divine. External authority is secondary and may even be seen as distracting one from the truth. It is with this Quaker/ feminist percep­ tion that I would like to examine the definitions of leadership, power, and the way in which change occurs. These issues emerged in my mind after spend­ ing a week at Guilford· College during its 150-year celebration during March. Three Quaker women executives were invited to attend and speak as distinguished visitors. They were Kara Cole, former administrative secretary of QUAKER Friends United Meeting; Asia Bennett, executive secretary of the American Friends Service Committee; and Meredith "Marty" Walton, general secretary of Friends General Con­ WOMEN ference. Organizers asked these three to probe issues of what it means to lead Quaker institutions. As a participant at the event, I observed the interaction of the three Quaker women executives among themselves, with students, ad­ and ministrators, the press, and the wider community. I came away with questions about leadership, power, and change. The characteristics of a leader as defined in present cultural and psycho­ RELGOUS logical models portray a person who is charismatic, assertive, articulate, edify­ ing, and independent. The three Quaker women executives certainly exemplify these qualities. They also demonstrate LEADERSHP other qualities that might be called leadership but have traditionally been considered feminine. These include nur­ turing, yielding, . enabling, and em­ powering. These additional values for by Kathryn Damiano leadership need to be recognized and af­ firmed as well as those that are tradi­ tionally associated with men. We need to do some heavy-duty "double, double unthink'' to avoid being seduced by models of leadership imposed on us ex­ Kathryn Damiano is a member of Chester (Pa.) Meeting.

Before our week at Silver Bay some of us may have thought these questions a matter of give-and-take. Now we may be led and more fully prepared to labor and wait for an opening. If these are our unanswered questions, then the more firmly planted message of our gathering was one of engagement, whether in its meaning of fidelity and commitment or of readiness to grapple with what is before us-truth, justice, and peace-or with one another and the spirit of God.

He sees a revival of faith and hope surging from a peasantry seeking release from century-old subjection. Christ's special message to serve the poor is now becoming an inspiration for the new congregational self-reliance of base communities. The Bible brings a message of liberation which challenges both the hierarchy of the church and the oligarchy of the ruling classes. Revolutionary demands are voiced, but not demands for violent revolution or for a Marxian class struggle. The Vatican and the Latin American bishops at first welcomed the new religious fervor. At Medellin in 1968, a Magna Carta of liberation theology called for Christians to be involved in the transformation of socie­ ty. Priests, sisters, and lay activists were in­ spired to a new pastoral mission. In the years immediately following, there was an out­ pouring of writings on liberation theology, expounding liberation for the poor, for women, for minorities suffering discrimina­ Quakers Are Funny was collected by Chuck Fager, who has tion.
