Conceived as a means for exposing believers to the
fundamentals of the Faith, "home visits" are giving rise to an array
of deepening efforts, both individual and collective, in which the friends are
delving into the Writings and exploring their implications for their lives. As
the spiritual foundations of the community are fortified in this way, the level
of collective discourse is raised, social relations among the friends take on
new meaning, and a sense of common purpose inspires their interactions.
