Quakerism: a view from the back benches
Copyright 1966 The Back Benches
Smaller Monthly Meetings
It is natural to presume that when a local Meeting gets to large for a rented public facility or for a living room, consideration should be given to a meeting house. Why is it that consideration is not given instead to subdividing the group? Is there some Quaker attraction of bigness, as such, a surprising situation considering our experience with the availability of the holy spirit to small groups? Are Quakers low-keyed Presbyterians? Frustrated cathedral-builders? Could something be gained by breaking down into units of ten or twelve families?
