Quaker Meeting for Worship

A Quaker Meeting for Worship is a silent, contemplative gathering where participants come together to seek spiritual connection and listen inwardly. There are no formal clergy or structured prayers; instead, attendees wait in silent prayer, awaiting inspiration or message to arise naturally. If someone feels led to speak, they may share a word, insight, or reflection. The focus is on presence, silence, and openness, fostering a collective experience of divine presence or spiritual awareness. It’s a communal practice emphasizing unity, introspection, and silent worship rooted in in-person shared tradition.
