Harvey Gillman: “Spiritual Hospitality at a Time of Uncertainty”
Harvey was outreach secretary for British Quakers for eighteen years. He is the author of many books, pamphlets, and articles on Quakers and spiritual life — his best-known book is ‘Consider the Blackbird’.
Harvey’s anthology of poems, Epiphanies, deals with the spiritual quest, pilgrimage, and moments of grace. He is a frequent speaker at Charney Manor where his humility, open-mindedness, and inclusivity of approach make him a great leader of participative debates and discussions.
Harvey writes: ‘The question I pose to myself and to others is: how do we fragile humans live in peace and harmony on this fragile planet? If anything here speaks to you, it may form the basis for the session you require.’
The picture is taken from the cover of one of his many books: A Light that is Shining: an introduction to Quakers.
