Visiting a Quaker Sunday meeting?

Question

I am very excited to visit a Quaker church, but I am not a Quaker and I do not know any Quakers. I know a few things about what they believe and how they hold their services (waiting for the Holy Spirit to lead), but I don't know much more than that. Is there anything I should know about what to wear, how to act, and what to expect from a Quaker Sunday meeting?

Don't dress to impress. We aren't into that. Respectful, yes. Nice slacks/skirt and top. It matters whether you are going to a pastored or non-pastored meeting. If there is a pastor (s)he will lead the service. If there is not, which is most meetings, everyone will sit in silence and meditate. If someone feels the need to share thoughts, that will happen. At the conclusion, everyone will shake hands. You will be asked questions, since not too many people "drop in". Expect people to be friendly and open.

I get the impression you are searching for the real truth!? Quakers are different from the norm....they are probably good people. However if you are really searching for the REAL TRUTH, then I can suggest the Netzari faith, and The doorpost plus Yahwehs sword which are all on the website, all you have to do is "google" these titles in and you will find a real feast of truth!

You would be better of visiting a religious debriefing party.
