Humboldt Friends Meeting
(Quakers)
Seekers is what we call our adult education program. We do not ascribe to a fixed belief but consider our spiritual understanding an ongoing journey or "continual revelation" . "Seekers" is a place where we can share and question our beliefs. The subjects range widely from Quaker historical figures, poetry, personal spiritual autobiographies, and exploration of Bible verses. Facilitation is shared among members and attenders. Here is a collection of some of the handouts people have created for Seekers:
