We have a concern that our meetings offer a form of worship which is pure, simple and spiritual.
“The history of religion has shown over and over again that creeds do not unite, they tend to divide. A group held together by a creed is more brittle and more subject to breakage than a more yielding organic group held together by the Spirit.” Howard Brinton, Friends For 300 Years p. 193
Since we hold the above to be true, we are concerned that our fellowship be one in which each person is warmly accepted and made to feel wanted and needed, their ideas listened to with prayerful consideration, allowing the Holy Spirit to sift the chaff from the wheat
Our Discipline is held as suggestions rather than commands. We seek to question or query rather than to give specific answers, thus placing upon the individual, in the quiet of their own soul before the Inner Teacher, the responsibility for the discipline of the spirit.
