“Four Doors to Meeting for Worship”

Facilitated by David Male  How does waiting worship give life to us and to our Quaker Meetings?  In this weekend we will draw on Bill Taber’s much-read Pendle Hill pamphlet, Four Doors to Meeting for Worship, with its rich description of our personal and corporate experience of meeting for worship.  In a Friends understanding, responsibility for ministry, for sharing messages from God, falls not to previously designated preachers but to all of us gathered in Meeting.  Four Doors is an excellent introduction to the ways we can build worshipful lives through the Door Before, the Door Inward, the Door Within, and the Door Outward. During our time this weekend, in united worship and in prayerful conversation, we hope to experience together how, through these four doors, the Spirit of Christ invites all of us to partake of that stream of Living Water from which all our vocal ministry and other service flow.
