22. Close relationships

Sharing a home or living alone

22.24

In the busy years of home life the parents are upheld and strengthened by their dependence upon God and upon one another; the efficient running of the home, the simple hospitality, the happy atmosphere, are all outward signs of this three-fold inner relationship. Home-making is a Quaker service in its own right. It should be recognised as such and a proper balance preserved, so that other activities - even the claims of Quaker service in other fields - should not be allowed to hinder its growth.
