This is my small piece of knowledge on this subject. There are two types of Quakers the Church type and meeting type.
I have been a Quaker meeting a hand full of times. People sit in a circle for some time in silent meditation. After a 1/2 hour people start talking if they feel lead to do so. They have no leaders and all Decisions of the meeting house are made by 100% consensus. The try to live a simple life and they believe in nonviolence.
Thanks Wannabe for sharing your experience. I have been in a Quakers "Society of Friends" meeting house but have never atteneded.
Seeker69 that is interesting to hear, I would be interested too in any experience you have with the Quakers, if it comes to that. From what I have read online they seem like a good option. I read they don't have priests or leaders, they even seem to be quite open to the way the meeting goes and how individual beliefs might differ.
