It is easy to make a form of our very rejection of forms. And in particular, we need to ask ourselves whether we are endeavouring to make all the daily happenings and doings of life which we call &#8216;secular&#8217; minister to the spiritual. It is a bold and colossal claim that we put forward \u2013 that the whole of life is sacramental, that there are innumerable \u2018means of grace\u2019 by which God is revealed and communicated \u2013 through nature and through human fellowship and through a thousand things that may become the \u2018outward and visible sign\u2019 of \u2018an inward and spiritual grace\u2019. &#8220;<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p style=\"text-align: right;\"><strong>A Barratt Brown, 1932<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>QF&amp;P 27.43<\/strong>\r\n                            <\/div>\r\n                        <\/div>\n<hr>\n<table>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"text-align: left;\" width=\"312\"><a class=\"fasc-button fasc-size-medium fasc-type-glossy fasc-rounded-medium fasc-ico-before dashicons-arrow-left-alt fasc-style-bold\" style=\"background-color: #0315a3; color: #ffffff;\" href=\"https:\/\/oxfordquaker.com\/newsletter\/december-2021\/43-st-giles-community-noticeboard-online-december-2021\/\">Previous Article<\/a><\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: right;\" width=\"312\"><a class=\"fasc-button fasc-size-medium fasc-type-glossy fasc-rounded-medium fasc-ico-before dashicons-arrow-right-alt fasc-style-bold\" style=\"background-color: #0315a3; color: #ffffff;\" href=\"https:\/\/oxfordquaker.com\/newsletter\/december-2021\/meetings-for-worship-december-2021\/\">Next Article<\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a class=\"fasc-button fasc-size-medium fasc-type-glossy fasc-rounded-medium fasc-ico-before dashicons-arrow-up-alt fasc-style-bold\" style=\"background-color: #0315a3; color: #ffffff;\" href=\"https:\/\/oxfordquaker.com\/newsletter\/december-2021\/\">Back to December 2021 Newsletter Main Page<\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong><em>Forty-Three<\/em> Newsletter \u2022 Number 512 \u2022 December 2021<br \/>\n<\/strong>Oxford Friends Meeting<br \/>\n43 St Giles, Oxford OX1 3LW<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"mailto:newsletter@oxfordquakers.org\">newsletter@oxfordquakers.org<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Previous Article Next Article Back to December 2021 Newsletter Main Page Forty-Three Newsletter \u2022 Number 512 \u2022 December 2021 Oxford Friends Meeting 43 St Giles, Oxford OX1 3LW newsletter@oxfordquakers.org<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":50,"featured_media":0,"parent":2097,"menu_order":19,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[25],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-2203","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry","category-quaker-faith-and-practice"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/oxfordquaker.com\/newsletter\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/2203","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/oxfordquaker.com\/newsletter\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/oxfordquaker.com\/newsletter\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/oxfordquaker.com\/newsletter\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/50"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/oxfordquaker.com\/newsletter\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2203"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/oxfordquaker.com\/newsletter\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/2203\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2268,"href":"https:\/\/oxfordquaker.com\/newsletter\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/2203\/revisions\/2268"}],"up":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/oxfordquaker.com\/newsletter\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/2097"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/oxfordquaker.com\/newsletter\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2203"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/oxfordquaker.com\/newsletter\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2203"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/oxfordquaker.com\/newsletter\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2203"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
