We meet in silence with expectant listening, letting go of the inner disturbances of daily life and waiting for the guidance of the Inner Light. A Meeting may be completely silent or, as more often happens, someone will feel moved to speak, to share with the Meeting something which may be of help or guidance to others, that they deem to be a divine message, not an instruction, fact, or idea.
An important part of Quaker belief is that there is that of God in every person, and by quietly and devoutly listening to the leadings of this Inner Light and following them we will follow the path God has set for us. It is on this belief that our Meeting for Worship is based.
Worship ends at 11:00 – we take time to share joys and sorrows together, and to introduce ourselves. Introductions are followed by hospitality and visiting.
Meeting for Worship is informal - attendees wear whatever is comfortable for the meditative nature of our worship.
