When we view the Light as the Living Christ come to teach us himself, we understand that we need not look outside ourselves for the solutions to our problems but can turn within to a presence that is willing and able to direct us in every aspect of our lives. Again, while none of these principles may be unique, when viewed as a whole they offer a fresh alternative for spiritual growth and community development that the black community normally has few opportunities to consider. The possibility that there are those in the black community who may wish to avail themselves of that opportunity leads to the second question: "Has the Black community anything to declare to us?"

Friend giving some lectures, that she ask "truth" and the word "integrity" have There is yet another reason why I me. So we sat together at the table one a close affinity and correspondence. In some respects the words are synony­ mous. Early Friends' use of " truth" had a biblical origin. Friends were fond of the Gospel of John, such as John 4:23 Integrity which says, "The true worshiper will worship the Father in spirit and in leads to truth." And again in John 8:32, "You a deep will know the truth and the truth will make you free." For some other thoughts sense of about truth I am indebted to Kenneth spiritual Boulding's 1970 Swarthmoor lecture at London Yearly Meeting entitled, "The community. Prospering of Truth.'' Interestingly, he makes reference there to a practice that some Wilburite used to have, namely, greeting 'one another by asking, "How is truth pros­ pering in thy parts?" That is to say, "where thee lives." Obviously that is a searching way to greet another Friend. "Truth" is a frequently used word in early Quaker literature. In some Quaker journals it appears on almost every page. It is usually Truth with a capital T. It is more than just common, ordinary truth that is understood here. For early Friends this Truth referred to the Gospel they found in the New Testament. It was Truth which had objective content, and it was truth in which one could par­ ticipate. It was much more than propo­ sitional truth, which is probably our most common understanding of truth. Integrity Let me now describe four ways in calls us to which integrity has been described and practiced by Friends. be truly • The first is truth-telling, or simply not who we are. telling lies.
