Recently I had the opportunity to interview an extraordinary Friend, Quaker hospice chaplain and traveling minister Carl Magruder. At the time of our interview, more than 500 wildfires were raging in the state of California, where he lives. He spoke of his experience of the start of the fires, and addressed the challenging nature of our era—a time of the Great Unraveling that precedes the Great Turning. He explained why he is a Quaker, described his calls and leadings, and shared his experience as a hospice chaplain. He told me about seeking support for his spiritual gifts and described the help he has received from Quaker elders and his anchor committee, offering the example of how he was supported while preparing and offering the 2020 FGC Gathering morning Bible Half Hours, with the theme of “Jesus as Trickster.” At the end of the interview, he spoke of his sense of oneness with the world. An EarthQuaker, he finds God in the world around him.

Thanks Marcelle.
You are welcome, Homer!
This interview is great. I will include it in final week’s outreach for Carl’s Bible session for Woolman Hill / Beacon Hill next Sunday. It is possible for you to add a link to his session to your blog post? He’s going to do it on Psalm 22 – and rose in him because of a desire to explore how psalms can help us deal with the sense of grief and fear around the things happening in our country right now – such as RBG’s death. Thanks! In God’s love, Peter
