They need to find peo­ple who enjoy spend­ing time togeth­er, who are open about their spir­i­tu­al expe­ri­ence, and will­ing to share the rich­es of the Quak­er way with them. They need to expe­ri­ence Quak­er wor­ship that is expec­tant and gath­ered, where peo­ple take the risk of open­ness to the Spir­it that leads to deep and vul­ner­a­ble spo­ken ministry.”
