Leadings
A leading is an idea or a calling to do something, that is hopefully divinely inspired. To find out if it is merely a good idea or if it rises to something more important or imperative, Quakers test the weight of an idea through prayer, worship and discussion with their faith community.

The projects listed below are posted here to do just that and to invite others who might be interested in uniting with them in some way, to make contact. If you have a project you would like to see listed here or you want to contact the participants of the projects listed, please email: info@friendsmedia.org
