Conduits of Healing (Guest Speaker: Leann Williams)

Ephesians 4:1-3, 15-16, 32

Leann Williams left a 22-year teaching career ten years ago to become a massage therapist (though she didn’t know it at the time). Now a recorded minister with Sierra Cascades Yearly Meeting of Friends, she facilitates several groups in north Idaho. The groups together form a web of interwoven relationships in faith community known as Friends in Common.

Ephesians 4:1-3, 15-16, 32:

As a prisoner for the Lord, then, I urge you to live a life worthy of the calling you have received. 2 Be completely humble and gentle; be patient, bearing with one another in love. 3 Make every effort to keep the unity of the Spirit through the bond of peace...

…15 speaking the truth in love, we will grow to become in every respect the mature body of him who is the head, that is, Christ. 16 From him the whole body, joined and held together by every supporting ligament, grows and builds itself up in love, as each part does its work.

...32 Be kind and compassionate to one another, forgiving each other, just as in Christ God forgave you.

Queries:

How do I create a safe space for myself to face my internal enemies? 

How do we help nurture safe spaces within our faith communities so that we can face our enemies of unhealed trauma in our churches and yearly meeting?
