First Light: An anonymous enquirer at a Quaker Meeting

‘I found myself unexpectedly moved.’

by Anonymous 25th September 2026

It was my first time at a Quaker Meeting.

I had been to religious services before, but usually under circumstances in which the Almighty had been warned that I was coming and had arranged for somebody to explain what was going on. This was different. There was no priest, no altar, no organ, and absolutely no pictures of anyone nailed to anything.
