Quaker rewnewal: Worship

Craig Barnett continues his series of reflections on contemporary Quakerism

by Craig Barnett 5th August 2016

If the Quaker way has something unique to offer the world, perhaps it is the experience of a gathered Meeting for Worship. This is what Gerald Hewitson has described as:

a Meeting where the silence is as soft as velvet, as deep as a still pool; a silence where words emerge, only to deepen and enrich that rich silence, and where Presence is as palpable and soft as the skin of a peach; where the membrane separating this moment in time and eternity is filament-fine.
