Mawazo kutoka kwa Faragha ya Quaker<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n

Nilikuja kwa Quakerism mara ya kwanza baada ya kupitia kile nilichosikia kikijulikana kama ”uzoefu wa uongofu,” wakati wa uwazi wa kibinafsi wa kiroho ambao ulibadilisha kwa kiasi kikubwa mwelekeo wa safari yangu ya kiroho.<\/p>\n\n

Nilikuwa nimelelewa katika familia ya Kikatoliki iliyofuata Vatican II. Nilienda shule ya parokia, nikapokea sakramenti, na kwa uwajibikaji nikaenda kwenye darasa la katekisimu. Jioni moja katika kikundi cha \u201cmatineja,\u201d nilimuuliza askofu aliyekuwa akizuru kuhusu msimamo wa kanisa kuhusu Vita vya Vietnam. Sikumbuki sana juu ya kubadilishana, lakini swali halikupokelewa vizuri, na mabishano yakatokea. Askofu aliniambia kwamba ningeweza kutengwa kwa sababu ya jambo nililokuwa nimesema. Kile kitisho hakikunisumbua, nikamwambia asonge mbele! <\/p>\n\n

Niliona tofauti nyingi sana ndani ya kanisa langu nililotoka ambalo sikuweza kusuluhisha, hasa dai la kanisa la kutengwa: kuwa \u201cKanisa Moja la Kweli la Mitume.\u201d Je, taasisi yoyote inawezaje kudai umiliki wa Mungu au Kristo? Hapo ndipo nilipoanza utafutaji wangu wa mazingira ya kiroho kwa imani au mazoezi ambayo hayakuwa ya kimabavu na ya kusisitiza. Nilikuwa na umri wa miaka 17 tu wakati huo, na wasiwasi wangu ulikuwa hasa juu ya maisha upande huu wa pazia la ulimwengu. Maisha ya baadae yangeweza kungoja! <\/p>\n\n

Wakati wa miaka yangu ya mapema ya 20, nilichukua kazi katika kiwanda cha samani, na nikiwa huko, nilipata bahati ya kukutana na kufanya urafiki na mwanamume ambaye angekuwa mshauri wangu wa kiroho, ambaye alinisaidia kugundua na kuvinjari njia yangu katika utafutaji wangu wa mapema wa kiroho. Nilianza kusoma wanatheolojia kama vile Thomas Merton na watafakari wengine. Wengine walikuwa watawa; wengine walikuwa hermits; wote walikuwa wale unaweza kuwaita mafumbo ndani ya mapokeo ya Kristo. Kupitia maandishi na maisha ya watu hawa wa kutafakari, hatimaye niliongozwa kwenye maandishi ya George Fox. <\/p>\n\n

Baada ya miezi tisa ya kusoma, ulikuwa wakati wa mimi kuendelea na sehemu inayofuata ya kile nilianza kuiita \u201chija\u201d yangu. Karibu na wakati huu nilikutana na ukaguzi wa rekodi ya albamu ya F&W String Band, bendi ya dansi ya New England inayoundwa na wafanyikazi na wapiga kambi kutoka Kambi za Shamba na Wilderness huko Vermont. Kwa kuwa hivi majuzi sina kazi na mpiga banjo ya nyuzi tano, niliamua kujiajiri! <\/p>\n\n

Kwa kuwa kambi hiyo ilikuwa imeanzishwa kwa kanuni za Quaker, niliona nijifahamishe na kile marafiki walikuwa wanahusu hivyo nikaanza kusoma. Wakati huu wa maandalizi, nilipata taarifa hii ya Fox katika Jarida<\/em> lake: <\/p>\n\n

\n

Na wakati matumaini yangu yote kwao [makuhani] na kwa wanadamu wote yalipokwisha, hivi kwamba sikuwa na kitu cha nje cha kunisaidia, wala nisingeweza kusema la kufanya, basi, oh basi, nilisikia sauti iliyosema, \u201cKuna mmoja, hata Kristo Yesu, awezaye kusema kwa hali yako,\u201d na nilipoisikia, moyo wangu uliruka kwa furaha.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n

Tangazo lake lilinijia mimi na wakati wangu mwenyewe wa uwazi. Ilikuwa imani ya Fox kwamba kwa kungoja katika ukimya wa maombi, iliwezekana kwa kila mtu kukutana moja kwa moja na Nuru ya Mungu katika Kristo. Hiki ndicho nilichokuwa nikitafuta. Katika kipindi hiki cha maisha yangu, nilianza kufikiria sana kuingia katika shirika la watawa. Tamaa hiyo ilikuwa na nguvu sana, lakini nilipoendelea kusoma, ilionekana wazi kwamba Quakerism ilikuwa, katika msingi wake, zoea la kutafakari ambalo lingeweza kufanywa nje ya kuta za monasteri na bila vazi la mtawa au nadhiri rasmi. <\/p>\n\n

Majira yangu ya kiangazi kule Farm na Wilderness yalikuwa na uvutano mkubwa kwangu, na baada ya kurudi nyumbani New Jersey, mara moja nilipata mkutano wa karibu na nikaanza kuhudhuria mkutano wa ibada kwa ukawaida, hatimaye nikawa mshiriki. Miaka ilipopita, hata hivyo, nilianza kutoridhika na hali ya kisiasa iliyopitiliza ya ”ujumbe”: haki ya jumbe hizi ilinisumbua. Sababu zangu za kuwa mwanachama hazikuwa za kiroho si za kisiasa: Nilikuwa nikitafuta kimbilio ambapo ningeweza kuwa pamoja na wengine katika ibada ya jumuiya na kuacha nyuma machafuko ya ulimwengu kwa muda. Lakini baada ya muda, machafuko yalikuwa yameingia kwenye jumba la mikutano. Mkutano wa ibada ulikuwa mahali pa kuweka sanduku la sabuni kuhusu uharaka na umuhimu wa jambo fulani. <\/p>\n\n

Nilielewa ukweli wa mahangaiko haya ya moyoni, lakini nilianza kujiuliza: ni lini tunachukua muda kuweka mizigo hii na kupumzika tu katika Nuru? Kama Rafiki aliyejikita katika Kristo anayetafuta angalau saa moja kwa wiki ya kimbilio, nilijikuta nikifadhaika, mara nyingi nikiwa na hasira, na kutamani zaidi na zaidi amani. Baada ya kutembelea mikutano mingine, kuomba kamati ya uwazi, na bila kupata jibu, hatimaye niliamua kuacha kuhudhuria mkutano. Niliumia moyoni, na, tena, nilijikuta nikitangatanga katika jangwa la kiroho, wakati huu nikijiuliza ikiwa bado nilikuwa Rafiki. <\/p>\n\n

Bado niliamini katika msingi wa kiroho wa Quakerism, ni mazoezi ya pekee ya kuzingatia, kwa hiyo, kwa namna ya Marafiki, nilitafuta ufafanuzi kwa kusubiri kwenye Nuru na kuuliza: Je, inafaa kujiita Quaker hata kama ninafanya imani yangu nje ya kuta za nyumba ya mikutano?<\/p>\n\n

Hatimaye uwazi ulikuja nilipokumbuka mapokeo ya \u201cmhudumu wa upweke\u201d\u2014watawa, watawa, na wasafiri\u2014ambao sikuzote walikuwa sehemu ya mapokeo ya Kristo yaliyoanzia siku za mapema zaidi za kanisa, kwa hiyo kwa nini nisiendeleze mapokeo hayo na kutekeleza imani yangu ya Waquaker kama upweke?<\/p>\n\n

Ni mfumo wa Quakerism kama mazoezi ya kiroho ambayo nimechagua kuiita nyumba yangu ya kiroho. Hivi majuzi, nimeongozwa kupata kimbilio la kiroho katika ukamilifu wa Uumbaji: ndani ya maeneo ya porini ambapo upendo na uzuri wa Mungu huwapo kila wakati. Kristo asemavyo katika Injili ya Tomaso, \u201cPasua kipande cha mti; mimi nipo, linueni jiwe, nanyi mtanikuta huko. Ni hapa ambapo nimechagua kuwapo pamoja na Kristo anayeishi katika mambo yote! <\/p>\n\n

Kupitia mazoezi yangu ya Quaker, nimekuja kuelewa kile Kristo alisema katika Mathayo 7:3\u20135, kwamba tunapaswa kutoa boriti kwenye jicho letu kabla hatujaonyesha kibanzi kwenye jicho la mwingine. Hiyo ni kusema, jiponye mwenyewe kwanza kabla ya kuchukua jeraha la ulimwengu. Ninaamini tunayo majukumu mawili ya msingi katika maisha haya. Ya kwanza ni kujitambua kwa kufanya kazi ili kuwa mtu tuliyezaliwa kuwa, na kama tokeo la \u201ckuwa\u201d huku, tunaombwa kushiriki uzoefu huo katika huduma kwa wengine, kutia ndani Uumbaji wote. <\/p>\n\n

Kristo alisema, \u201cNyumbani mwa Baba yangu mna makao mengi\u201d (Yohana 14:2, KJV), na ninaamini kuwa hiyo ni kweli. Ukweli na hekima havikomei kwenye Andiko lolote au ufunuo; hakuna taasisi ya kidini au mtu binafsi anayeweza kudai umiliki wa Mungu. Ninaamini kwamba sisi sote tunaongozwa na Mungu wa uzoefu wetu, na ikiwa kwa uangalifu tunajikita wenyewe, kusubiri katika Nuru, na kisha kuchukua muda wa kutambua kile ambacho kimefichuliwa, tutapata njia yetu, ambayo inaweza, pengine, kutupeleka mbali na \u201cnyumba ya kukutania\u201d kwa muda. Quakerism inayozingatia Kristo ndiyo njia ambayo nimeongozwa kufuata, na nitaendelea kuwa mwaminifu kwa uongozi huu kadiri niwezavyo kwa kusubiri katika ukimya na kusikiliza ushauri mzuri wa Kristo. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
