Mutual Irradiation (Pendle Hill Pamphlets Book 175)

Douglas V. Steere

0/5 ( ratings)

Douglas Steere has had a concern for what he calls “mutual irradiation” for almost two decades. On his first visit to India and Japan he and his wife, Dorothy, opened themselves to Hinduism and to Zen Buddhism, seeking to discern the message of each, and its relevance to the Christian life of the spirit. This pamphlet summarizes their experiences with ecumenism, “searches the challenges and opportunities that lie immediately before us, and seeks to lay on Friends the responsibility of a possibly unique contribution to one of the most striking break-throughs that our century has produced.”

From his own experiences with ecumenical conferences with Buddhists in Japan and Hinduism in India, Steere notes that “something happens in the course of understanding another’s truth that irradiates and lights up one’s own tradition and that on rare occasions may even give one a hint of a truth that embraces both, a hint of a hidden convergence.”

Join Douglas Steere in this discernment, let him help you “to see more clearly what it might involve, and if we as Quakers should decide to participate in it, what treasures we might have to bring to it and what might come to us out of our active involvement in it.”
