The Amazing Fact Of Quaker Worship
BY GEORGE GORMAN
The meeting for worship is the fundamental shared experience in Quaker faith and practice, but it can be hard to explain. George Gorman looks at how Quaker worship will be seen by a newcomer, and approaches religion as human experience, seeking within it signals of transcendence that point beyond and bring a new dimension to life. Quaker worship is spontaneous and flexible in its freedom from credal structure and liturgy. This classic book aims to assist regular Quaker worshippers as well as newcomers to make the most effective use of silent worship.
