For 2025–2026, Brian Drayton is offering a final series of monthly mid-week opportunities for Zoom-based worship-sharing and conversation. The readings for this year will be drawn from memorial minutes and other testimonies to the lives of Friends. Over the centuries, these minutes, striving to convey the work of God evidenced in individual lives, represent a unique window on what Friends in each era have most valued and been most grateful for.
Sessions for the fall will be on the third Wednesday of each month from 8 to 9 p.m.
One week before the event, Friends will receive the Zoom link and a short quotation from a Friend modern or ancient. Attenders will be asked to read the selection beforehand and reflect in private on a few short questions.
Each gathering will open with quick greetings and a brief introduction to the quotation and its setting. The rest of the time will be spent in worship-sharing. The aim is for the conversation to be slow, spacious, and centered. The final 5 minutes will be silent, before we depart from our miniature retreat.
In 2026 there will be a spring series, January–May, which will be announced in December 2025.
