Quaker rewnewal: Worship
Craig Barnett continues his series of reflections on contemporary Quakerism
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.
