Cover: Skills of Discernment Charis Waddy was one of the liveliest minds in the early history of IofC. By 1935 she had an Oxford degree in Arabic and Hebrew, and a PhD from the University of London. At the age of 25 she laid aside her status and career to work full-time with Frank Buchman. She felt herself to be the servant of a benevolent Creator who has a plan for the world and everyone in it. She came into that Presence morning by morning, conscious of her frailties, and wanting by grace (which is what ‘charis’ means) to be part of the larger plan. Distilled from Charis’s life work, this booklet has a warmth and wisdom that can still serve us today.
