Im thinking of visiting a quaker meeting anyone have any experience,ive read a brief background in the beliefs but they seem a little lofty? i guess that applies to all religions, but then some say quakerism is not a religion, im confused!
Dear friends of ours were quakers. They were the most down to earth people; and also incredibly kind and non-judgemental.
I never went to Quaker meetings but I often saw both at other meetings in multiple different contexts. Listening respectfully; inclusive, courteous, positive.
When George died I went to his quaker funeral at the crematorium. We all went in and sat down quietly. There was no minister, leader, or person in charge. No service, prayers readings music. From time to time, someone would stand up and say a bit about George then sit down. Informal; sometimes serious, sometimes funny (just like G himself).
Some spoke, some did not. So peaceful, thoughtful. The goodness of George was palpable in that meeting of people, just as it had been every time I was with him. .
From George when he told me he was dying.
" The way I see it, this cancer is going to die of George".
