accurate information from a moral per­ spective. Probably even more important has been FCNL's willingness to articu­ late a vision of the world as it could be and should be-and to refuse to accept self-imposed limitations on what is pos­ sible. Often we are pleasantly surprised by the positive response to this perspec­ tive from jaded, politically "realistic" members of Congress and their staffs.

The popular view of a world of continuing economic and material growth and consumption is running aground on the shoals of over­ population, war, resource depletion, and environmental pollution. Progress must now be redefined in terms of spiritual growth, deeper interpersonal relations, aesthetic satisfaction, and simple living.

VOICES & VISIONS OF TilE POETS AND PROPHETS IN THE DEAD SEA SCROU.S, THE NAG HAMMADI UBRARY, AND THE BffiLE

A COMMON VISION OF LIGHT

Jesus: The Nag Hammadi Library Teacher ot Rigbteousaess: The Dead Sea Scrolls I "Trust in me, brethren; IDlderstand what the great Upt is." "The splendor of Thy [God's] glory has become unto me as a light everlasting."

Recently discovered archaeological evidence within The Nag Hammadi Ubrary (e.g., The Gospel of Thomas, which contains 114 "secret sayings" of Jesus, The Gospel ofPhilip, The Gospel ofMary, etc.) provides astonishing new insights into Jesus and His unique teachings. Upon comparing this evidence to The Dead Sea Scrolls, the new Scroll fragments (1992), and the Bible, Light-Consciousness reveals that Jesus and the Essene "Messiah" (i.e., the Teacher of Righteousness) not only shared a common vision of reality but also used a pool of strikingly similar poetic symbols to describe this vision. Light-Consciousness demonstrates that these analogous sayings of Jesus and the Essene Teacher represent an inspired consciousness of God's Light which both of them experienced. This well-documented book also describes the characteristics of "Light-Conscious- ness" and considers how poets and prophets throughout the ages have portrayed its awesome spiritual powers.

The Quaker House .... ~o.; ... f at Woolman Commons Mount Holly, New Jersey

Rental Housing for Friends \:·r · who are 55 years of age or older.

In these days of economic uncertainty and sharply declining interest rates, many Friends are concerned that their incomes might not keep pace with the cost of living. This is particularly worrisome to those who live on fixed or limited incomes, and to those who may derive a portion of their income from interest on cash investments. The Quaker House at Woolman Commons offers one hedge against this possibility.

Located one block from the Friends Meetinghouse in the historic town of Mount Holly, residence at The Quaker House offers many opportunities for Friends to lead a richly rewarding life in a socially and economically diverse community with a growing Quaker presence. The four spacious apartments in this newly restored and renovated building are being offered to members of the Society of Friends. The current monthly rent is $575.00 plus utilities. However, for Friends who qualify, confidential rental subsidy is available from restricted funds. Any such subsidies would vary according to individual circumstance, but combined rent and utilities will never total more than 30% of a person's adjusted monthly income.

Residents of The Quaker House will be welcome to participate in most activities of the Medford Leas Continuing Care Retirement Community; however. since The Quaker House is strictly a rental building, there is no medical contract and no entrance fee. Perhaps at some future date some residents of The Quaker House might choose to enter Medford Leas, but that decision would be strictly up to them.
