Quakers

I enjoyed attending a couple of Quaker meetings a few years ago. During the first meeting, one person spoke. During the second meeting, no one spoke and we sat in silence for the full hour. I appreciate the Quaker commitment to activism and non-violence. I enjoy their desire to sit in silence together and expect that God will speak to them.

No one else spoke during the meeting and Ann was surprised when a slight beep signaled the end of the hour.
