"My journey into faith and with faith and through faith is primarily to do with seeking a direct connection and communication with the Divine," Tim Gee explains—and for a long time, that led to Scripture taking a back seat. So how did Tim come to find solace and support in the Bible?

The Beloved Community, the New Jerusalem described in Revelation, requires no temple because the covenantal relationship with God informs every inch of its territory. (Rev 21:22) The people have no need of a “steeple-house,” as George Fox would say, to show their love for God and their neighbors.

"The Quaker understanding of continuing revelation and freedom from dogma, especially in the light of a Zen perspective, calls for a refined understanding of faith. Faith has commonly been used to mean belief in something. If there is no doctrine to believe in, what does faith mean?"
