Horsham Monthly Meeting Religious Society of Friends (Quakers) Clerk: Amy Ann Jarrett Worship: 10:30 AM Each Sunday Address: Horsham, PA 19044 Phone: Click Here for directions to the Meetinghouse "As many candles lighted and put in one place do greatly augment the light and make it more to shine forth, so when many are gathered together into the same life there is more of the glory of God, and His power appears to the refreshment of each individual, for each partakes not only of the light and life raised in himself, but in all the rest. Robert Barclay (1648-1690)" We welcome you to our Meeting and hope that together we will find strength and peace as we worship. The following notes may be of help to those of our visitors who are unfamiliar with Quaker worship. We as Friends believe that there is something of God in everyone - a Christ within or an Inner Light. We worship together - without clergyman, ritual or music - because we hope to become more aware of God's light guiding us and His voice speaking to us. Through prayer and silent meditation we strive to come into a real awareness of the Divine Presence working in us. As we seek to know God's will, we may feel within an inspiration to share with others the insights we have gained. Such sharing may take the form of vocal prayer or ministry; from time to time others in the Meeting will feel similarly moved to respond to these messages. Thus out of the silence often emerges a real sense of shared communion with the Father of us all.

36. A Lively Concern: The Religious Society Of Friends (Quakers) A LIVELY CONCERN THE religious society of friends (QUAKERS). by Rachel MacNair. http://www.fnsa.org/fall98/macnair1.html

A LIVELY CONCERN: THE RELIGIOUS SOCIETY OF FRIENDS (QUAKERS) by Rachel MacNair Friends: Who We Are Principles of the Inner Light Friends on Abortion Friends: Who We Are The Religious Society of Friends, more commonly known as Quakers, began in the religious ferment of England in the 1600s. The basis of all Quaker beliefs is the presence of "that of God" in everyone. Everyone has an "Inner Light" for guidance. Though many choose to ignore it, it is always there to be reached. Though clearly Christian, the early Friends would quote the Koran when speaking with Turks because of the belief that other peoples who also had access to the Inner Light would understand better if spoken to in terms they understood. The Quaker response to those in positions of power who are not willing to listen, even to those who are brutal and insensitive, is a practice called "Speaking Truth to Power," which holds that everyone contains a spark that can be reached with prophetic voices. The Quaker method of worship involves the use of silence so that people can "center down" and be attuned to the Inner Light. Friends sit together in a Meeting for Worship, and speaking occurs when someone is moved of the Spirit to speak. The silence that follows the message is part of the message, to give others a chance to contemplate the point just made. There is no minister or, more accurately, everybody is a minister. All are equally invited to contribute to the spiritual journey of the group. Pastoral work and administrative work are done by committees and by a monthly Meeting for Worship with Attention to Business, which all can attend. Decisions are made by consensus of the group, so that there is no tyranny of the majority and the consciences of all individuals are respected. The Meeting is the group, analagous to a church, and Meetings are associated in larger geographical groups which meet yearly (hence, the Yearly Meeting).

In 1855, regular meetings for worship after the manner of Friends began and in 1860 Minneapolis Friends built a meetinghouse at 8th and Hennepin. Who are the builders and worshippers at this meeting house? Are we only a sect of the past or do we really exist today? We, who have been called Seekers of the Truth, Quakers and Friends, are members of the Society of Friends. Yes, we are a sect, but we do not separate ourselves from the world around us.
