Four Doors to Meeting for Worship: A Friendly Study Group

William Taber’s Pendle Hill Pamphlet ‘Four Doors to Meeting for worship’ offers deeply spiritual but practical guidance for our attempts to pay attention to the Divine. His advice encompasses not only the time of shared worship itself, but also the vital role that preparation and mindful departure play in the quality and depth of our worship.

Over the first four weeks of this course, we will discuss each of the four ‘doors’ recommended by Taber, with a few pages of preparatory reading and reflection to do before each live session. You’ll also be encouraged to put some of his advice into practice and reflect on the experience with other participants. The follow up session, on Tuesday 10 June, will be an opportunity to review together what we have learnt and whether we have experienced a difference in the quality of our worship as a result.

This course will have something to offer to those who are just discovering the Quaker way of worship, and just as much to those who have been worshipping as Friends for years – there is always room for deepening our relationship with the Divine through worship.

There will be some material to look at before the first session. We will email you around one week prior to the course with information about accessing the course, including details of preparative work on our online learning platform (Moodle).
