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.
