From Rhi­an­non Grant:

The phrase ‘out­ward prac­tice’ rais­es a more dif­fi­cult pos­si­bil­i­ty. Do we some­times risk mak­ing the unpro­grammed, open, lis­ten­ing space of Quak­er wor­ship into an out­ward rit­u­al – just the kind of rit­u­al ear­ly Quak­ers were reject­ing when they threw out the prac­tices of pre­vi­ous gen­er­a­tions of Chris­tians and cre­at­ed unpro­grammed wor­ship instead – by focus­ing too much on the fact of silence or sit­ting still?
