Speaking in Quaker Meeting for Worship: What, When, How, and Why

Speaking in Quaker Meeting for Worship is part of the Quaker Quicks series, short paperback that are very useful for newcomers or for adult religious education.

Quaker meeting for worship is often described with a focus on silence, but the practice of speaking into the silence, known as giving vocal or spoken ministry, is equally important to a full understanding of how this kind of worship works. It is also often a focus of anxiety for Quaker communities - is there enough ministry or too much, how do we judge the content of ministry, and how can ministry be improved? This book addresses the many questions about speaking in meetings for worship, providing a practical guide for individuals and communities who want to deepen their meetings for worship with a better understanding of spoken ministry.
