On Friends Journal, the story of a Friend who left (distracted worship, spiritual doubts) but came back when the lockdown closed the church she attended and opened her Quaker meeting via Zoom
But this only tangentially a COVID story. The real lessons are the worship: she needed more vocal ministry than her meeting was giving her, then needed more silence than her new church had provided. Individuals are complicated and surprising. I’m glad Friends were there to welcome her back and wonder whether the relative accessibility of online worship 1 allowed a “prodigal child” to easily slip back in to Quaker worship.
