This Quaker method, if method it can be called, might be described as the laboratory method. The modern teacher of science does not require his class to blindly accept the authority of a book. Experiments are done which prove the facts. Similarly the Quaker worship is not a worship by proxy, but a worship of actual personal experience. Howard Brinton

The public is invited to join with the Quaker (Friends) community at the Midcoast meeting on Saturday, March 18, by stopping by to join them in silent prayer between 10 a.m. and 3 p.m..

Quakers are a “peace church.” They have historically supported peaceful ways of settling conflicts and differences, and believe in the dignity and value of every person.
In the 19th century, many Quakers were abolitionist, and worked to eliminate slavery. They helped to feed and resettle refugees in the First and Second World Wars, and provided medical and social assistance to people injured in Vietnam.
Today, Quakers operate programs globally through their meetings (churches) and organizations to assist people suffering from conflicts, poverty and inequality, and to address environmental concerns. At the present time Quaker service work includes: providing aid for refugees, working to improve conditions in prisons, encouraging positive actions around climate change, and speaking out about the violation of human rights the world.

"There is a principle which is pure, placed in the human mind, which in different places and ages hath had different names. It is, however, pure and proceeds from God. It is deep and inward, confined to no forms of religion nor excluded from any, where the heart stands in perfect sincerity. In whomsoever this takes root and grows, of what nation soever, they become brethren in the best sense of the expression."
