Sometimes attendees at Quaker Meetings will read aloud passages of text from various sources. The effect of the Silence of the meeting being filled with such sharing can be profound. ☮

If you attend a Quaker Meeting in the UK, you will often find people reading during the meeting and in every meeting room you will find copies of a small (6" x 4") red 24-page booklet, Advices & Queries that is made freely available to attendees (in case they've forgotten to bring their own reading material 😊). Sometimes, during a meeting, attendees will feel called to stand and read aloud a part of it or other prose or poetry that they feel called to share. For example. ☮
