Je<\/span> , ni nini kinachofanya huduma ya msingi na ya uhai katika mikutano yetu ya Quaker? Ilikuwa katika kusoma <\/span>
\n The Seven Storey Mountain<\/span>
\n<\/i> , tawasifu ya 1948 ya mtawa wa Trappist Thomas Merton, ambayo senti moja ilidondosha kuhusu swali hili ambalo linasumbua Marafiki wengi wa muda mrefu leo.<\/span><\/p>\n

Merton alizaliwa mnamo 1915 na wazazi wa msanii kusini mwa Ufaransa. Baba yake alikuwa mwenyeji wa New Zealand, mama yake Mmarekani, na ingawa hakuna hata mmoja ambaye anaonekana kuwa ameandikishwa kikamili Friends, Merton asema: \u201cMama alienda kwa Waquaker, na kuketi nao katika nyumba yao ya kale ya mikutano. <\/span><\/p>\n

Ilichukuliwa kuwa rahisi, anaendelea kusema, kwamba yeye na kaka yake ”huenda wakaruhusiwa kuelekeza upande huo pia.” Hata hivyo, alipotembelea New York City mwaka wa 1933, alihudhuria mkutano katika eneo la Flushing huko Queens. Alipokuwa tu akitulia, mtu fulani aliinuka na kutoa sehemu ya huduma ya kutisha ambayo ilionekana kwake kutokuwa na Roho Mtakatifu. <\/span><\/p>\n

Ilikuwa ni majani ambayo yalimpeleka kuhitimisha kuhusu Quakers: <\/span><\/p>\n

Wao ni kama wengine wote. Katika makanisa mengine ni mhudumu ndiye anayetoa mambo ya kawaida, na hapa inawajibika kuwa mtu yeyote tu\u2026. Siwezi kuona kwamba watawahi kuwa chochote zaidi ya kile wanachodai kuwa\u2014Jumuiya ya Marafiki. <\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Mwanamke akasonga mbele. Angekuwa katika miaka yake ya 60, akiwa amevalia kihafidhina, na nywele zimefungwa nyuma\u2026 ” <\/span>Nina nafasi ya kuweka kiti,” alisema kwa uthabiti. ”Ikiwa huwezi kupanda, naweza kukupa changu.”<\/p><\/div><\/span><\/p>\n

Sasa, niruhusu kushughulikia hilo kwa kuendelea kwenye njia ya mandhari nzuri. Hivi majuzi, nilipokuwa nikisafiri katika Nyanda za Juu za Uskoti, niligundua kwamba kampuni ya mabasi ya masafa marefu ilikuwa imeweka mfumo mpya ambao viti vilihitaji kupangwa mapema. Ningefika Inverness bila kuweka nafasi kwa safari ndefu yenye miunganisho. Kulikuwa na foleni ndefu. Nilipouliza kwa wasiwasi, mwanamke alijitokeza mbele. Angekuwa katika miaka yake ya 60, akiwa amevalia kihafidhina, na nywele zimefungwa kwa njia ambayo nilichukua labda kuashiria ufuasi wa asili ya Kipresbiteri. <\/span><\/p>\n

”‘Nina nafasi ya kukaa,” alisema kwa uwazi. ”Ikiwa huwezi kupanda, naweza kukupa yangu.” <\/span><\/p>\n

Ingekuwa imeweka safari yake ya kurudi kwa masaa kadhaa. Kwa bahati nzuri, nilipata kiti. Nikiwa barabarani wakati wa kubadilisha mabasi, nilichukua nafasi hiyo kumuuliza yeye ni nani. <\/span><\/p>\n

Hakika si Mpresbiteri! Badala yake, alisema yeye ni \u201cmtawa mtawa,\u201d na akaniomba niongee kwa upole kwani hakutaka basi kujua. <\/span><\/p>\n

Sawa na kile kinachoonekana kuwa hesabu inayoongezeka ya ”dini” ya kufanya-we-mwenyewe (kama watawa wa kike na wamonaki wanavyojiita), anawajibika moja kwa moja kwa askofu wake. Ameishi katika kijiji cha Highland ili kuishi maisha ya sala ya kutafakari bila kujulikana. (Wazo linatoka wapi kwamba maisha katika kijiji chochote cha Highland yanaweza kujulikana, sijui, lakini hiyo ni hadithi nyingine.) <\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cUnasali kuhusu nini?\u201d Nilimuuliza. <\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cMimi ni daktari wa uzazi aliyestaafu,\u201d alijibu. ”Nilitumia muda mwingi wa maisha yangu nikifanya kazi barani Afrika. Siku hizi, ninajishughulisha na uchunguzi wa mateso ulimwenguni. Nilisoma maelezo ya kile kinachotendeka na maandiko ya utafiti-ya kitiba na kijeshi. Kisha ninawaombea wahasiriwa.” <\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cUnafanyaje hivyo\u201d?<\/span><\/p>\n

”… kwa kuwaweka katika Mungu.”<\/span><\/p>\n

Na ndivyo ilivyokuwa. Kama vile mshangao wa wafuasi wa Kristo chini ya msalaba ambao hawakuwa na la kufanya kwa kila njia isipokuwa kwa uwepo wao wa upendo, mwanamke huyu alishikilia maumivu ya ulimwengu wote. Iwapo ningekuwa kwenye meza ya mateso, kwa njia fulani nina hakika kwamba ningefurahi kujua kwamba watu kama yeye wapo. <\/span><\/p>\n

Kwa miaka 20 iliyopita, moja ya kazi ya ajabu ambayo imefunguliwa kupitia Quakerism yangu ni kwamba ninaalikwa kuzungumza juu ya kutokuwa na vurugu katika vyuo vya mafunzo ya wafanyakazi wa kijeshi kote Ulaya. Kwa wakati huo, lazima ningezungumza na maafisa wahudumu 7,000, pamoja na kundi zima la wale waliohusika katika vita vyetu vya hivi majuzi huko Afghanistan na Iraqi. <\/span><\/p>\n

Usiku sana, tukiwa tumekaa katika fujo za maafisa juu ya bia kadhaa, hadithi za kushangaza zinatoka. Kwa mfano, kulikuwa na Luteni Kanali wa Uingereza ambaye aliniambia juu ya shughuli zake katika vitanda vya mwanzi wa Euphrates, akiondoa mifuko ya watu wa Saddam. Yeye binafsi hakuwa ameua, lakini wale waliokuwa chini ya amri yake wameua. Tofauti sawa kutoka kwa mtazamo wa maadili. <\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cIlijisikiaje?\u201d niliuliza. <\/span><\/p>\n

”Ninaona mambo matatu,” alisema. ”Silali vizuri sana. Mimi hukasirika haraka zaidi. Na ninahisi baridi kwa urahisi zaidi kuliko nilivyokuwa.” <\/span><\/p>\n

Ilinifanya nifikirie jinsi Dante alivyoelezea mduara wa ndani wa Kuzimu kuwa sio moto, lakini ulioganda.<\/span><\/p>\n

Huenda ukajikuta umevunjwa\u2014kabisa kupita kiasi\u2014na nguvu zinazoletwa juu yako. Unaweza kujikuta umevuliwa nguo hadi ambapo kilichobaki ni Mungu pekee. <\/p><\/div><\/span><\/p>\n

Siku nyingine, niliketi kwenye tamasha pamoja na kasisi wa jeshi la majini. Alikuwa amerejea kutoka katika mapigano makali na vikosi maalum nchini Afghanistan. <\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cZaidi ya mahubiri ya Jumapili, hilo linahusisha nini?\u201d ningeuliza. <\/span><\/p>\n

Bila shaka, nilijua kwamba majukumu ya makasisi si ya kiroho tu. Wanashikilia pia mantiki ya ”vita tu.” Usijali kwamba hii haikufundishwa kamwe na Yesu. Augustine, akimegemea Paulo katika Warumi 13, alifundisha nadharia ya vita tu. Augustine aliandika: <\/span><\/p>\n

Hatutafuti amani ili tuwe vitani, bali tunaenda vitani ili tuwe na amani. Kwa hivyo, kuwa na amani katika vita, ili kuwashinda wale unaopigana nao, na kuwaleta kwenye ustawi wa amani. <\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

”Moja ya majukumu yangu,” kasisi alisema, ”ilikuwa kwamba nilisaidia kuendesha kozi ya kuwazoeza wavulana kile kinachotokea ikiwa wanateswa. Ningewaambia, ‘ikiwa umetekwa na adui, unaweza kunyang’anywa kila kitu. Sare yako, afya yako, utambulisho wako. Hata vifungo vya familia vya wale unaowapenda vinaweza kutosha kukusaidia kushikilia zaidi ya mawazo yako – unaweza kujikuta umevunjwa. jikute umevuliwa hadi ambapo kitu pekee kilichobaki ni Mungu.\u2019\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Wamekosa tiki kwa sababu sisi pia, mara nyingi sana, hukosa tiki.<\/p><\/div><\/span><\/p>\n

Hapo ndipo wizara ya mtawa mtawa ingekuwa na mvuto wake. Huduma ya \u201ckuwaweka katika Mungu.\u201d <\/span><\/p>\n

Aliniambia kwamba alipenda kazi ya Thomas Merton, lakini kwamba hangependa kuwa Quaker. Nilipata hisia kwamba baadhi ya censure Merton alikuwa rubbed mbali. Lakini niliposoma tena vifungu vya Merton, nilifikiri: amekosa tiki. Na labda amekosa kupe. <\/span><\/p>\n

Wamekosa tiki kwa sababu sisi pia, mara nyingi sana, hukosa tiki.<\/span><\/p>\n

Jina letu kamili sio ”Jumuiya ya Marafiki.” Jina letu kamili, likiwemo lile la Flushing Meeting huko New York, ni \u201cJumuiya ya Kidini ya Marafiki.\u201d Ni lazima tujikumbushe hilo, na tujaribu kuwaelimisha wale wanaoketi katika mikutano yetu vile vile: hasa ikiwa wanatujia bila kufahamu chemchemi yetu; hasa, ikiwa wanatumaini kupata ndani yetu taswira yao wenyewe, au wanaumia kutokana na unyanyasaji fulani wa kiroho unaodumishwa mahali pengine. <\/span><\/p>\n

Huku tukikaribisha utofauti, na malaika wakija bila kutarajia, ni lazima tubaki macho katika maisha ya kiroho ya mikutano yetu. Kama Isaya (21:11-12) alivyoiweka katika hotuba: <\/span><\/p>\n

Mlinzi, usiku umeenda wapi? Mlinzi, usiku umeenda wapi? Mlinzi asema, Asubuhi inakuja lakini pia usiku. Ikiwa ungependa kuuliza, uliza; Rudi tena. <\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Huduma haipaswi kuwa juu ya \u201cmimi,\u201d hata kuhusu \u201csisi,\u201d bali kuhusu kufunguliwa kwa mtiririko wa Mungu. Ikiwa tutageuka kuwa kikundi cha matibabu, au kutumia mikutano isiyopangwa kama jukwaa la ubinafsi wetu, tunadhoofisha mizizi ya kile kinachopa uhai, na kwa hiyo, sifa yetu. <\/span><\/p>\n

Kazi yetu\u2014kama vile tu ilivyokuwa kazi ya mtawa mtawa, au hata kasisi wa kijeshi\u2014ni kuangalia kama yule mlinzi, na kungoja, na kushikilia mambo katika Mungu. Kama vile Rafiki katika Mkutano wa Glasgow alivyoniambia miaka mingi iliyopita, \u201cNi hatari kupuuza maisha yako ya kiroho.\u201d <\/span><\/p>\n
