Reading Quakers (Reading Monthly Meeting) Reading Monthly Meeting of the Religious Society of Friends (Quakers)

We are a diverse group of families and individuals who strive to be a loving, nurturing, and involved community. We encourage each person to explore his or her own understanding of faith and a relationship with God. Our Meeting for Worship (aka church service) is a time of quiet reflection when each member opens their hearts and minds to the message of God and the possibility of speaking that message aloud before the other attenders. Quakers believe that "there is that of God in everyone" which means that there is no intermediary needed (no ministers or priests) because we all have a direct connection to God. The benches in the Meeting House (church building) are arranged in a rectangle, all facing the center of the room and attenders may sit wherever they like.

Have you ever had the help of a community when making a big decision? Quakers use a number of tools to combine group wisdom with individual insight. In a clearness committee, Friends sit together with one person who is the focus person making a decision. The people in the circle only ask the Friend questions -- they don't give advice. They give the person space to sort out what's on their hear and what might be the next right step.

Have you used Quaker tools like clearness committees or threshing sessions? How did it go, and what did you learn?

To learn more about discernment in a Quaker context, see our Spiritual Deepening Library:

This week we return to our "What Say You" series after a summer hiatus. Stay tuned next week for questions about truth!
