Welcome, and we are re the satoe wr thoswho mi akertu so that part of quakerism i belong to, we call it a Friends Meeting rather than a Friends Church although there is such a thing as a Friends Church, and we worship in silence. So we sit in silence and wait upon the spirits and then people might speak out of the silence as they are moved by the spirit. So in an hour we might get a few messages. And then we just kind of return to the silence and stay in that space. We dont have ordained clergy, we all take responsibility and we do everything by committee which often happens in churches.

For all of their support, and we could not have done the work that we did with the task force could not have done the work that we did without their support.
