This book is a consideration of ministry in the Religious Society Friends. Drawing from their own experience, and with reference to other religious traditions and the arts, the writers analyze some difficulties and deficiencies, celebrate gifts, and explore possible ways of enriching, empowering and extending ministry.

Chris Cook and Brenda Clifft Heals are the initiators of the Appleseed Process that encourages a closer bond between our thinking mind and our feeling mind.

By linking the Appleseed process to their own experience of ministry and relating it with other religious traditions and the arts, the authors promote the gifts it can carry and identify its deficiencies. They share their thoughts on how ministry can be enriched and empowering.
