When Should I Speak in Meeting For Worship?

16 November 2021, Online

Speaking into the silence of unprogrammed meeting for worship can be daunting. There's the theory, that we speak when we are led to do so, and then there's the messy reality of working out what's really a leading and what comes from our own desires.

There are the general guidelines about giving spoken ministry (speak only once in a meeting, try and be brief, and so on) and the cases where it doesn't seem possible to follow them. And there are the touchy areas – expressing beliefs which not all Quakers will agree with, sharing something intensely personal, or getting a negative reaction after making yourself vulnerable by speaking in the first place. In this session we'll have space to explore these issues and for you to raise any experiences or questions which are on your mind.
