Worship
From CS-Quakers
Quaker process is grounded in meditative listening and expectant waiting for Divine Guidance. It is a religion of continuing revelation - the belief that God is ever present and speaks directly to each individual.
Our weekly worship service, where we meet for an hour of collective meditation, is the highlight of our week. We are all ministers, available as the conduits of Divinely inspired messages. A typical Meeting for worship involves a period of settling into meditation. The entire hour may pass in a rich corporate silence or with several short messages, each followed by silence, so the message has time to be heard and included in personal reflection. Meeting for worship is broken by the shaking of hands.
