In the Quaker tradition, waiting worship is never an empty silence; it is a profound, shared, expectant stillness. In this experimental episode, the team at Thee Quaker gathered together for worship at Green St. Meeting in Philadelphia, placed field microphones around the worship space, and created an immersive, stereo audio documentary of communal waiting. You will hear the physical reality of people gathering together, complete with passing cars, the creaking of benches, and the distant coo of a happy infant. They invite you to grab your headphones and use this immersive hour to center down into a deep, worshipful silence wherever and whenever you are.<\/div>\n[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_button _builder_version=”4.27.5″ button_text=”Access Podcast” button_url=”https:\/\/quakerpodcast.com\/an-hour-of-silent-quaker-worship\/” url_new_window=”on” button_alignment=”center” custom_button=”on” button_text_color=”#ffffff” button_bg_color=”#0c71c3″ button_text_shadow_horizontal_length=”button_text_shadow_style,%91object Object%93″ button_text_shadow_horizontal_length_tablet=”0px” button_text_shadow_vertical_length=”button_text_shadow_style,%91object Object%93″ button_text_shadow_vertical_length_tablet=”0px” button_text_shadow_blur_strength=”button_text_shadow_style,%91object Object%93″ button_text_shadow_blur_strength_tablet=”1px” custom_margin=”0px|0px|0px|0px” custom_padding=”2%|4%|2%|4%” box_shadow_horizontal_tablet=”0px” box_shadow_vertical_tablet=”0px” box_shadow_blur_tablet=”40px” box_shadow_spread_tablet=”0px” vertical_offset_tablet=”0″ horizontal_offset_tablet=”0″ z_index_tablet=”0″ button_border_radius=”20px” button_font=”Roboto||||||||” background_layout=”dark” button_border_width=”0px” \/][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section]\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
