Friends' business meetings are meetings for worship with
a concern for business. When there seems to be disagreement,
a free expression of all opinions should be encouraged.
Those who speak in meetings for business are advised not to be
unduly persistent in advocacy or opposition, but, after having
fully expressed their views, to recognize the generally expressed
sense of the meeting. A deep and seeking silence can help to
reconcile seemingly opposing points of view. Meetings should be
conducted in the spirit of wisdom, forbearance, and love.

Advice and Queries

From the beginnings of our Society, we have considered
it necessary to assemble frequently for the purpose of public
worship held in expectant waiting for divine guidance, thereby
manifesting our belief in and dependence upon our creator.
Meeting for worship is fundamental for us, and we should be
diligent and punctual in our attendance. We seek, through
communion with God, the strengthening influence of the Holy Spirit to
enable us to discharge with fidelity the services we owe to God,
to each other, and to all people.
