A Personal Word t from the Headmaster Dearly beloved Friends. these things we do not lay upon you as a rule or form to walk by. but that all. with the measure of light which is pure and holy. may be guided: and so in the light walking and abiding. these may be fulfilled in the Spirit. not in the letter. for the letter killeth. but the Spirit giveth life. Letter from the Meeting of Elders at Balby. 1656. Unity of spirit is a cherished ideal. Conformity of approach in reaching that ideal is not necesssary. Yet. simple co-operation. respect for others. the willingness to try. to strive. and not to yield. are reasonable expectations as we live together in this educational community. i Unity of spirit may be stimulated by the teacher in the classroom as he inspires his students to focus on the common topic: mathematical l solution: a debate point, the lessons of history, the endoskeleton of a vertebrate. dramatic ensemble. or a newly learned piece of Chopin. Unity of spirit is achieved in sports as coach and team dynamically work out a strategy to win. to rally. to concede graciously. but with renewed desire for the next attempt. Unity of spirit is found in clubs as people regardless of age, or experience. or level of educational attainment find enjoyment and relaxation in endeavours of high mutual interest. Unity of spirit is felt in the school activities which develop our spiritual awareness. The Meeting for Worship is the focal time in our school week. Private thoughts are intentionally set aside so that our little selves can have the opportunity to reach out to the infinite much. We seek to appreciate Christian and non-Christian ideals as embraced by the family of man. We seek to understand a correspondence between faith and practice in our own lives. Perhaps the greatest challenge we all face is to find a way into a philosophy of life. and then. attempt to implement that philosophy in our daily doings with our friends and acquaintances. Certainly. Jesus' injunction to love one another has been found to be most difficult round the world. Unity of spirit lies in recognition that our creature comforts deserve satisfaction: well-balanced diets. plenty of sleep and sufficient exercise to keep our physical being healthy. Unity of spirit is a cherished ideal. lt is also attainable. Each time we feel differences arising. we need to seek a common ground. Each time we sense we are out of tune. we need to take personal stock of what we are thinking. where we are going and how we -are effecting others. Then. we have to make a personal value judgment: ls my thought conducive to Unity of Spirit? Are my actions promoting Unity of Spirit? lf the answer to these two key questions is. Yes, and the consequences are perceived to be good when tested in the light of others' experience. then the course of action which is supportive to following through is open. lf. however. the answer to any one of the questions is. No, then it is clear that an alternative has to be found. Unity of spirit is a cherished ideal and a practical reality. I would trust that as we work and live and play together in our school community we would work toward realizing that ideal and that reality continuously. Sheldon H. Clark 4
