Chris Mohr: Very few people have an experience like Saul on the road to Damascus where we just get blown over by the Holy Spirit and, suddenly, everything’s changed. So we have to listen to nudges and leadings and little quiet steps. So my experience is of feeling small nudges that feel like they are from God and that I need to pay attention to, and if I stop and slow down and have others sit with me to reflect on those nudges, I can sense whether they’re really something pushing me in a direction I need to go, or is it just a momentary fancy?
How to Serve on a Quaker Clearness Committee
Greg Woods: Clearness committees are formed when an individual, a couple, a group comes to a Quaker body and says, “We are wrestling with this issue and we want to discern the way forward.”
Robin Mohr: It’s important to know how to help people do their discernment because it’s not something that we learn automatically in our society. It’s not always something that we learn at home. So it’s a skill that can be learned, but we have to practice.
Preparing for a Clearness Committee
Ashley Wilcox: The prep work for the committee is to hold the person in the light and be prepared for the questions that may come up, and read the writing in advance to be prepared for holding this person in the committee meeting.
Greg Woods: Before the meeting, I find a grounded place and I would pray for that person, or, to use the Quaker saying ‘hold them in the Light.’ And, for me, holding people in the light, I visually try to see them being surrounded by a halo of light.
Listening
Robin Mohr: The first thing I would say is just to let the person talk. And I find that often, we don’t have a space to be able to talk about the things that really matter to us, and so just holding a space where somebody actually just gets to tell you the whole story—and why it’s important to them—is a gift.
Margaret Webb: So when you serve on a clearness committee, the first piece of that is listening deeply to the person who is requesting a clearness committee. So the first piece is to listen deeply and not just to listen deeply to that individual and to their story, but also to listen deeply for the still, small voice—that of God in that person—and how the Spirit might be moving.
AJ Mendoza: We’re all listening to the same Source; the same God is speaking to all of us. So, if I’m saying that, like, there is a leading that is coming from God that is telling me to do something, I have no doubt at all that another Friend, would be able to, like, with enough listening, totally hear that.

Josh Brown
Quakers believe that if you want to find out what God has to say, you need to listen. And so we spend a lot of time listening in quiet prayer. That quiet prayer time, which can happen anytime, anywhere, is the heart of the Quaker religious experience.
What to Expect in Quaker Meeting for Worship
Maggie Harrison
If you are going to go into Quaker Meeting for the first time, first of all, congratulations. So you walk in, sit down, be quiet. What to expect when you’re there, besides just “go with the flow” is different things depending on where you are.
What Should I Wear?
Vanessa Julye
Unlike some other churches, you don’t need to dress up with suit and tie or a fancy dress. Most of the folks come in jeans, t-shirts, or shorts/t-shirts. Whatever you’re comfortable in.
Should I Bring My Kids?
Maggie Harrison
So you’re thinking about coming to Meeting and you have children. You really need to know that you have to bring them. They may or may not enjoy themselves but we’re always so thrilled to have young people join us. They come and they’re bringing their alive-ness and their love and their genuine-ness. So please, yes, bring them.
Entering The Space:
A Plain Setting
Maggie Harrison
So if you come into this space and you’re looking for images or words on the walls, some kind of direction, and you’re going to notice that there isn’t going to be any there. From the very beginning of Quakerism, its about the inside. So it’s about you not looking around you for that, but really going inward for your own wisdom, for your own piece of the divine that’s been given to you.
Kody Hersh
Sometimes a worship room will look like a really old building with benches that have been sat on by thousands of Quakers over hundreds of years and sometimes it will look like the basement of another local church.
Entering the Space:
Where Should I Sit?
Kody Hersh
Something that’s common to them is that people often will enter already in silence, find a place in the room and sit down in silence. Anyone coming into the room can sit anywhere, there’s not a right place or a wrong place to sit.
The Service:
Learning to Listen
Christie Duncan-Tessmer
So before you go into Meeting for Worship for the first time, I’ll tell you what I’ve always told my kids when they were little, every week before we went in, which is just, “remember when you go in, to just sit down and listen for God. God is here with us and this is a space to listen.”
Charlotte Cloyd
The first time I went to Quaker Meeting I didn’t know how to listen. Because I had never listened in church before. I had to work on that process of figuring out: what am I listening for? Am I listening to myself? What’s going on? What is everyone else listening to and how does that affect the community and me?
Maggie Harrison
So in that quiet-ness you walk in, you say, “Ok, everyone is sitting there quietly, when are the directions going to come? What am I going to do?” Just follow suit.
Christie Duncan-Tessmer
Just sit down in that space. Just feel the space and the people around you and open yourself as much as you can. Just continue to notice how you can be aware of all that’s around you and all that’s within you, and how that’s all connected to everybody else in the room.

Transcript:
Noah Merrill:
A Quaker is someone who is seeking to be faithful to the deepest truth that we can encounter, to be guided to that truth by the guidance of the holy spirit, by the presence of God in our lives, and by the understanding that that’s a real experience that we can encounter.
O:
A Quaker is someone who is willing to be still, enter a silence, and actually be penetrated by that silence.
Paul Buckley:
Penn said, a Quaker is defined by one fundamental principle, and that was that God had placed within each person an infallible guide, that if followed would lead you to righteousness and salvation. Anyone who follows that guide, who attends to it and does what it leads you to, is a true child of God and, by definition, then, is a Quaker.
C. Wess Daniels:
For me, one of the things that means to be Quaker is to be together in a community of people who gather and listen together. We can have spiritual practice outside of meeting, outside of worshipping, but there’s something about coming together and listening together to God as a community that is full of life, and full of conflict and challenge, and to me, that’s what makes Quakerism beautiful.
Faith Kelley:
I think there’s also some Quaker distinctives that come out of that experience of Christ alive and in the world with us, and those are things about, you know, sacraments being inward, and our experience of worship— the understanding that God is there in the worship and is with us. And so those things, I think, make someone a Quaker.
Monica Walters-Field:
So by definition, your communication changes, because you know, if we’re all, then, therefore that of God, we’re therefore all equal, and so by definition our relationships with each other must change, and will be different.
O:
There is a way of trusting the innocence of that power, so that one is not afraid of it—not afraid of the power—but is willing to walk intimately into that power… and be informed by it. Informed. Reformed. Transformed. And in the transformation, of being touched by God, behaviors change. Something different happens.
Noah Merrill:
But it’s more than that, right, because there are many people in many traditions who are seeking to do that. So then what’s a Quaker? I think a Quaker is someone who is part of this living stream, this sense of being a people who’ve been on this journey for more than 350 years, traveling together as a community, supporting one another with these traditions and these practices that we have found. We didn’t create them; we discovered them. That help people along that journey of faithfulness, as we help each other to be set free and to grow more fully alive. And to me, that’s the Way we’re inviting people into.

Quakers
Quakers (or Friends) are members of a group of religious Christian movements which is known as the Religious Society of Friends in Europe, Australia, New Zealand and parts of North America; and known as the Friends Church in Africa, Asia, South America and parts of the US. The movements were originally, and are still predominantly based on Christianity. Members of the movements profess the priesthood of all believers, a doctrine derived from the First Epistle of Peter. They include those with evangelical, holiness, liberal, and traditional Quaker understandings of Christianity. To differing extents, the different movements that make up the Religious Society of Friends/Friends Church avoid creeds and hierarchical structures. In 2007, there were approximately 359,000 adult Quakers.
Around 79% of Quakers worldwide belong to the 'evangelical' and 'programmed' branches of Quakerism – these Quakers worship in services with singing and a prepared message from the Bible, coordinated by a pastor. Around 11% of Friends practice waiting worship, or unprogrammed worship (more commonly known today as Meeting for Worship), where the order of service is not planned in advance, is predominantly silent, and may include unprepared vocal ministry from those present. Some meetings of both types have Recorded Ministers in their meetings—Friends recognised for their gift of vocal ministry.

We didn’t create them; we discovered them. That help people along that journey of faithfulness, as we help each other to be set free and to grow more fully alive. And to me, that’s the Way we’re inviting people into. -

Quotes:
Territorial Marshal Wistful McClintock: You know, Quirt, I always figured on using a new rope when hangin' you... because I kind of respected ya. You never took the best of things and all your men went down looking at ya.Quirt Evans: I thought you weren't allowed to work on Sunday.::Penelope Worth: Oh, Quirt, there's nothing we're not allowed to do. It's just that we don't believe in doing what we know is wrong.::Quirt Evans: Well, that makes it pretty much each fella's own guess.::Penelope Worth: But each fella knows inside.::Quirt Evans: Well, there's a lot of gents I wouldn't want to give that much leeway to.
Dr. Mangrum: But of course if you're determined to watch over him, Penny, perhaps you'd better take a pencil and paper with you. His first conscious words should be recorded. They may be of great interest to history... or more possibly to the United States Marshal! Who knows what violence is involved with his battered frame and his bullet holes.
Bradley: So that's Quirt Evans. He's quite a man with the gals. He's closed the eyes of many a man... and opened the eyes of many a woman.
Penelope Worth: Surely you can walk to the barn without that.::Quirt Evans: What?::Penelope Worth: The gun!::Quirt Evans: Oh, well, it balances me. One leg's longer than the other. You know, the weight.::Penelope Worth: Thee are a liar.
[last lines]::Bradley: [the marshal picks up Quirt's gun] Hey, Quirt might need that!::Territorial Marshal Wistful McClintock: No. Only a man that carries a gun ever needs one.::Bradley: What are you going to do with it?::Territorial Marshal Wistful McClintock: Hang it on a wall in my office - with a new rope.
Territorial Marshal Wistful McClintock: When are you and Laredo Stevens going to get around to killing one another?::Quirt Evans: Laredo? Well, we water our horses outa the same trough.::Territorial Marshal Wistful McClintock: Well, I'm sure looking forward to hanging the survivor.
Randy McCall: Ah, you know, Quirt, I hate to shoot people. Remember I shot a wattie once up in Montana. I dreamed about it all the next night. And then, of course, there's always witnesses. And then you got to shoot the witnesses.
Quirt Evans: He swung a wide loop in his younger days, I think.::Penelope Worth: A wide loop?::Quirt Evans: He wasn't too careful whose calf he threw his rope at.
Quirt Evans: [reads the plaque on the wall] "Each human being has an integrity that can be hurt only by the act of that same human being and not by the act of another human being."::Quirt Evans: Is that Quaker stuff?::Penelope Worth: Uh huh.::Quirt Evans: You mean nobody can hurt you but yourself?::Penelope Worth: That's a Friend's belief.::Quirt Evans: Well, supposin' someone whacks you over the head with a branding iron? Won't that hurt?::Penelope Worth: Physically, of course. But in reality it would injure only the person doing the act of force of violence. Only the doer can be hurt by a mean or evil act.::Quirt Evans: Are there very many of you Quakers?::Penelope Worth: Very few.::Quirt Evans: I sort of figured that.

David Shiner - Faith and Practice: A Quaker Perspective
Presented on November 5, 2015. Although the Quaker religion has existed since the middle of the 17th century, the general public knows very little about it. Quakerism is based on the belief that "God's Will" can be known directly by every human being. In this lecture the history, beliefs, and practices of Quakers will be explained, with special focus placed on those aspects of Quakerism that are most relevant to life in the 21st century. -

Chris Mohr: Very few people have an experience like Saul on the road to Damascus where we just get blown over by the Holy Spirit and, suddenly, everything’s changed. So we have to listen to nudges and leadings and little quiet steps. So my experience is of feeling small nudges that feel like they are from God and that I need to pay attention to, and if I stop and slow down and have others sit with me to reflect on those nudges, I can sense whether they’re really something pushing me in a direction I need to go, or is it just a momentary fancy?
How to Serve on a Quaker Clearness Committee
Greg Woods: Clearness committees are formed when an individual, a couple, a group comes to a Quaker body and says, “We are wrestling with this issue and we want to discern the way forward.”
Robin Mohr: It’s important to know how to help people do their discernment because it’s not something that we learn automatically in our society. It’s not always something that we learn at home. So it’s a skill that can be learned, but we have to practice.
Preparing for a Clearness Committee
Ashley Wilcox: The prep work for the committee is to hold the person in the light and be prepared for the questions that may come up, and read the writing in advance to be prepared for holding this person in the committee meeting.
Greg Woods: Before the meeting, I find a grounded place and I would pray for that person, or, to use the Quaker saying ‘hold them in the Light.’ And, for me, holding people in the light, I visually try to see them being surrounded by a halo of light.
Listening
Robin Mohr: The first thing I would say is just to let the person talk. And I find that often, we don’t have a space to be able to talk about the things that really matter to us, and so just holding a space where somebody actually just gets to tell you the whole story—and why it’s important to them—is a gift.
Margaret Webb: So when you serve on a clearness committee, the first piece of that is listening deeply to the person who is requesting a clearness committee. So the first piece is to listen deeply and not just to listen deeply to that individual and to their story, but also to listen deeply for the still, small voice—that of God in that person—and how the Spirit might be moving.
AJ Mendoza: We’re all listening to the same Source; the same God is speaking to all of us. So, if I’m saying that, like, there is a leading that is coming from God that is telling me to do something, I have no doubt at all that another Friend, would be able to, like, with enough listening, totally hear that.

Chris Mohr: Very few people have an experience like Saul on the road to Damascus where we just get blown over by the Holy Spirit and, suddenly, everything’s changed. So we have to listen to nudges and leadings and little quiet steps. So my experience is of feeling small nudges that feel like they are from God and that I need to pay attention to, and if I stop and slow down and have others sit with me to reflect on those nudges, I can sense whether they’re really something pushing me in a direction I need to go, or is it just a momentary fancy?
How to Serve on a Quaker Clearness Committee
Greg Woods: Clearness committees are formed when an individual, a couple, a group comes to a Quaker body and says, “We are wrestling with this issue and we want to discern the way forward.”
Robin Mohr: It’s important to know how to help people do their discernment because it’s not something that we learn automatically in our society. It’s not always something that we learn at home. So it’s a skill that can be learned, but we have to practice.
Preparing for a Clearness Committee
Ashley Wilcox: The prep work for the committee is to hold the person in the light and be prepared for the questions that may come up, and read the writing in advance to be prepared for holding this person in the committee meeting.
Greg Woods: Before the meeting, I find a grounded place and I would pray for that person, or, to use the Quaker saying ‘hold them in the Light.’ And, for me, holding people in the light, I visually try to see them being surrounded by a halo of light.
Listening
Robin Mohr: The first thing I would say is just to let the person talk. And I find that often, we don’t have a space to be able to talk about the things that really matter to us, and so just holding a space where somebody actually just gets to tell you the whole story—and why it’s important to them—is a gift.
Margaret Webb: So when you serve on a clearness committee, the first piece of that is listening deeply to the person who is requesting a clearness committee. So the first piece is to listen deeply and not just to listen deeply to that individual and to their story, but also to listen deeply for the still, small voice—that of God in that person—and how the Spirit might be moving.
AJ Mendoza: We’re all listening to the same Source; the same God is speaking to all of us. So, if I’m saying that, like, there is a leading that is coming from God that is telling me to do something, I have no doubt at all that another Friend, would be able to, like, with enough listening, totally hear that.

Quakers believe that if you want to find out what God has to say, you need to listen. And so we spend a lot of time listening in quiet prayer. That quiet prayer time, which can happen anytime, anywhere, is the heart of the Quaker religious experience.
What to Expect in Quaker Meeting for Worship
Maggie Harrison
If you are going to go into Quaker Meeting for the first time, first of all, congratulations. So you walk in, sit down, be quiet. What to expect when you’re there, besides just “go with the flow” is different things depending on where you are.
What Should I Wear?
Vanessa Julye
Unlike some other churches, you don’t need to dress up with suit and tie or a fancy dress. Most of the folks come in jeans, t-shirts, or shorts/t-shirts. Whatever you’re comfortable in.
Should I Bring My Kids?
Maggie Harrison
So you’re thinking about coming to Meeting and you have children. You really need to know that you have to bring them. They may or may not enjoy themselves but we’re always so thrilled to have young people join us. They come and they’re bringing their alive-ness and their love and their genuine-ness. So please, yes, bring them.
Entering The Space:
A Plain Setting
Maggie Harrison
So if you come into this space and you’re looking for images or words on the walls, some kind of direction, and you’re going to notice that there isn’t going to be any there. From the very beginning of Quakerism, its about the inside. So it’s about you not looking around you for that, but really going inward for your own wisdom, for your own piece of the divine that’s been given to you.
Kody Hersh
Sometimes a worship room will look like a really old building with benches that have been sat on by thousands of Quakers over hundreds of years and sometimes it will look like the basement of another local church.
Entering the Space:
Where Should I Sit?
Kody Hersh
Something that’s common to them is that people often will enter already in silence, find a place in the room and sit down in silence. Anyone coming into the room can sit anywhere, there’s not a right place or a wrong place to sit.
The Service:
Learning to Listen
Christie Duncan-Tessmer
So before you go into Meeting for Worship for the first time, I’ll tell you what I’ve always told my kids when they were little, every week before we went in, which is just, “remember when you go in, to just sit down and listen for God. God is here with us and this is a space to listen.”
Charlotte Cloyd
The first time I went to Quaker Meeting I didn’t know how to listen. Because I had never listened in church before. I had to work on that process of figuring out: what am I listening for? Am I listening to myself? What’s going on? What is everyone else listening to and how does that affect the community and me?
Maggie Harrison
So in that quiet-ness you walk in, you say, “Ok, everyone is sitting there quietly, when are the directions going to come? What am I going to do?” Just follow suit.
Christie Duncan-Tessmer
Just sit down in that space. Just feel the space and the people around you and open yourself as much as you can. Just continue to notice how you can be aware of all that’s around you and all that’s within you, and how that’s all connected to everybody else in the room.

Transcript:
Noah Merrill:
A Quaker is someone who is seeking to be faithful to the deepest truth that we can encounter, to be guided to that truth by the guidance of the holy spirit, by the presence of God in our lives, and by the understanding that that’s a real experience that we can encounter.
O:
A Quaker is someone who is willing to be still, enter a silence, and actually be penetrated by that silence.
Paul Buckley:
Penn said, a Quaker is defined by one fundamental principle, and that was that God had placed within each person an infallible guide, that if followed would lead you to righteousness and salvation. Anyone who follows that guide, who attends to it and does what it leads you to, is a true child of God and, by definition, then, is a Quaker.
C. Wess Daniels:
For me, one of the things that means to be Quaker is to be together in a community of people who gather and listen together. We can have spiritual practice outside of meeting, outside of worshipping, but there’s something about coming together and listening together to God as a community that is full of life, and full of conflict and challenge, and to me, that’s what makes Quakerism beautiful.
Faith Kelley:
I think there’s also some Quaker distinctives that come out of that experience of Christ alive and in the world with us, and those are things about, you know, sacraments being inward, and our experience of worship— the understanding that God is there in the worship and is with us. And so those things, I think, make someone a Quaker.
Monica Walters-Field:
So by definition, your communication changes, because you know, if we’re all, then, therefore that of God, we’re therefore all equal, and so by definition our relationships with each other must change, and will be different.
O:
There is a way of trusting the innocence of that power, so that one is not afraid of it—not afraid of the power—but is willing to walk intimately into that power… and be informed by it. Informed. Reformed. Transformed. And in the transformation, of being touched by God, behaviors change. Something different happens.
Noah Merrill:
But it’s more than that, right, because there are many people in many traditions who are seeking to do that. So then what’s a Quaker? I think a Quaker is someone who is part of this living stream, this sense of being a people who’ve been on this journey for more than 350 years, traveling together as a community, supporting one another with these traditions and these practices that we have found. We didn’t create them; we discovered them. That help people along that journey of faithfulness, as we help each other to be set free and to grow more fully alive. And to me, that’s the Way we’re inviting people into.
