This is the second part of a 28 minute DVD (YouTube restrict videos to 10 minutes). I think you will get a more balanced picture if you also view part 1 which covers worship, where God is central for most Quakers.

This seems very nice and gentle. However, my concern is that this sort of meeting could become a 'social club' rather than worship of the Christian God.

Have you seen part 1?

Beautiful freedom of thought, in honor to god, and including the children is so important. Peace, Friends

@bargainmom Have you ever been to a Lutheran potluck?

Quakers always seem so peaceful and kind. I've been very interested in Quakers. The Quakers have always stood up for what is right; they were one of the two groups that spoke against Japanese internment. I'm looking to join a Quaker church this month :)

if you worship nothing, you have no business going to a quaker house of meeting. The pioneer quakers worshipped the Almighty God and the quaker faith is founded on God and in Jesus Christ who is the Light and that of God in Every man. We believe in the Triune God. Why can t you join the Bidhist who worship "nothing"?

@pauliyai I worship nothing. I just go, embrace the stillness and contemplate things, not God or anything like that though. I just take meeting as my time for settling.

@waynie11 from which book do you get this information? George Fox was not a theologian Pa se, he sought God and found Him, the bible should not assert something to be believed but God reveals Himself in the bible as triune and see anyother way God says about Himself. Barclay the Quaker Theologian explains this well.

@ubersoxfanjpm I woudn't want to be judgemental but when you say 'free worship' whom do you worship? Baal?SELF? air? nothing? the first quaker quaked at what?

how horrible, that someone would watch this video, and these good wholesome people, and the first thing they can say is, "THAT'S NOT CHRISTIANITY THEY'RE WRONG!!!"
