    "I must try" 3 years ago

    The Wednesday worship meetings last only for half an hour. There were eleven people there. One woman spoke after a while. She reflected that at this time of year many people think of death, and of birth. She’d been to see Downfall, a film about Hitler’s last days, and the cult of suicide that sprang up amongst the people in the bunker. Hitler’s secretary, however, decided to leave Berlin, saying I must try, which this lady interpreted as I must try – for life. Quite inspiring!

    I really enjoyed it as a form of worship. I hope to start attending more regularly next semester.

    Peaceful 4 years ago

    I attended a Soc. of Friends school, so I’ve done that, about 4,000 times, twice a week for several years. When in the proper frame of mind, it was incredible. Unfortunately at the age of 14, being in the proper frame of mind isn;t always easy!!!
    I’ve been back as an adult. I personally prefer the smaller meetings- that the big mega meetings, and the silent ones, compared to the friends meetings in the south…(of which many are no longer silent.)

    at long last, the silence 4 years ago

    so many sects of Friends, and yet, my favorite space is going & being with people and sitting in silence. Bliss.

    I like the idea of being together 4 years ago

    ...with others in silence.
