"A Friend's meeting, however silent, is at the very lowest a witness that worship is something other and deeper than words, and that it is to the unseen and eternal things that we desire to give the first place in our lives. And when the meeting...is awake and looking upwards, there is much more in it than this. In the united stillness of a truly 'gathered' meeting, there is a power known only by experience, and mysterious even when most familiar."
Caroline Stephen, (1908).

Hello Friend.. love this piece by Caroline Stephen, who was, and still is, a under-appreciated heavyweight among Friends historically. Love your site too. Peace and joy from a Quaker in New England. Kevin Lee (www.NewsFromAnAcorn.com)
