Quietwood Meeting
Meeting for worship, weekly

Mostly, we are quiet.

An unprogrammed meeting — an hour of silence, broken only when someone is genuinely moved to speak.

What happens in an hour of silence

We gather at ten and sit together in silence. Sometimes nobody speaks for the whole hour. Sometimes three or four people do, briefly, with long pauses between.

There is no minister, no order of service and nothing you are expected to say or do. If you have never done this before, simply sit; that is the whole practice, and it takes a while to get used to.
