A Distinctive Whole ~ Michael L. Birkel

"Each spiritual tradition has its gifts to offer the rest of humankind. Even if no single feature of that tradition is utterly unique, the various spiritual practices and attitudes can combine into a distinctive whole. Many pieces of the Quaker tradition have close relatives in other spiritual communities. Still, the question remains: what does Quaker spirituality have to offer to the contemporary world?"
