The meeting for worship, unadorned in its organization and procedure, remains the central corporate experience of unprogrammed Friends. Friends believe that there is that of God in everyone. We believe that when we meet together and worship in silence, we will be guided by the Spirit. We believe in a direct experience with God; we all have an active role in sharing that experience. On occasion, worship is mystical.
The Spirit is present, ministry is pertinent and poignant, and we are changed. Friends call this experience a “gathered” or “covered” meeting. Some describe it as the experience of being at home. For many of us, it is the mystical experience of worship in a gathered meeting that brought us into the Society of Friends.
