*Meeting for Worship
Friends in the Napa meeting worship
in the manner of early Friends. That is, an unprogrammed, silent meeting
in expectant waiting. As we sit together, we try to clear our thoughts
to listen for God's words for us. One person might be moved to speak and
share a spiritual message, a concern or a prayer. There is a space after
each message when the silence is as full as any vocal ministry. Both the
words and the silence bring those in the Meeting closer together. While we
do not have ministers, each person contributes to the worship by listening
and by responding to the voice within.
Peace Initiative
College Park Quarterly Meeting (Quakers in Northern
California and Nevada) met in San Francisco on January 18, 2003. The
working paper on "A Quaker Peace Initiative"
was presented and discussed. It was approved to (1) work
individually and corporately in support of its goals and (2) distribute
this document widely within and outside the Religious Society of Friends.
