Who speaks in meeting for worship?
7 November 2022, Online
Speaking into silence is one of the central practices and mysteries of Quaker meeting for worship. In this evening together we'll talk about who speaks and why – what moves us, what helps or prevents us, and how wider factors influence us.
The theory of meeting for worship says that we are being led by the Spirit (however we understand that) to give spoken ministry. But when we experience meeting for worship we find that there's a lot of variety – some communities routinely have completely silent worship, while others receive 'popcorn ministry' with too many messages to fit into the time.
By talking about the factors which might influence this, we'll explore our own relationships to speaking in meeting (whether you've never done it or speak every week) and start thinking about how we can improve the quality of ministry in our Quaker communities. During the 90 minute session, there will be some input and time to talk in small groups.
