Being a Quaker
Posted: Tue Apr 29, 2014 7:56 pm
Attending a Quaker Meeting for Worship is a very different experience from meditating on your own. You are in 'a gathered silence', surrounded by others and it is both individual and inclusive and often very profound.
If I've come into the room a bit late after the Meeting has started I've had the impression of entering a pool.
The Quakers were founded in the 17th century by a man called George Fox and they are known as The Society of Friends, and indeed the Friends are very friendly and welcome anyone to their Meetings.
