Queries
Emerging from the Friends (Quaker) tradition is the practice of Queries. Queries cause a person to pause and reflect on important questions, but they do not have a single correct answer. Queries can cover personal, relationship, and even social topics. We have selected one query topic per day for you to reflect upon for 5 days. Remember, there are no right or wrong answers. Use the instructions and journaling space on this handout to guide you through the Queries activities.
