Just received an email from Chris Bravo and Lindsey Schneider over on the Silence Opens Doors project, which is doing videos on silence. This is a piece they did about silence at Brooklyn Friends Meeting. More about the project:
We are working on a feature length documentary and new media project called Silence Opens Doors (www.silenceopensdoors.com), which approaches silence and noise as cultural phenomena across a broad spectrum of disciplines. A major component of what we are looking into is Quaker silent worship, and so last weekend we went to visit the Brooklyn Friends Meeting House to talk with a few of their members about what it means to settle down into silence and listen to the divine and those around you.
And it is in the silence that the community who hears such vocal ministry will come to bear witness to that person’s transformation and healing. We will help hold the Friend prayerfully as she, or he, sinks down into the Seed and begins to share the story.
