The meeting begins as participants enter and settle into silence
|
|
without a leader or liturgy. There is no programme or hymn.

Anyone who feels moved by the Spirit may rise and speak a brief
|
|
message. After each message, the group returns to silence.
|
|
- headline: Hold the silence
|
|

|
|
The meeting may pass entirely in silence, or include several messages.
|
|
Silence is not emptiness but worship.
|
|
- headline: Close with handshakes
|
|
description: >-
|
|
After about an hour, an elder turns to a neighbour and shakes hands,
|
|
signalling the close. All exchange handshakes.
|
|
outcome: >-
|
|
Participants experience communal worship through silence and any spoken
|
|
ministry that arises, without liturgy or hierarchy.
|
|
practice: >-
|
|
The discipline is the silence — do not fill it. If you speak, stand and
|
|
speak briefly; do not debate or reply to another's message. Let the
|
|
silence hold what is said. |
