Inter-Visitation
What is inter-visitation? We are all seekers of Truth, each in our own way, on our own paths, and thankfully we have chances to make sure that those paths cross from time-to-time. Inter-visitation is the practice of visiting between communities to strengthen the bonds of relationship and learn and grow together with Divine guidance. Some intervisitation occurs between communities that share a lot similarity, but other instances occur between groups of Friends who have differing approaches to Quaker theology and expression. Negotiating both our likenesses and our differences can prove to be challenging, but extremely growthful work.
