 MY MANHATTAN; Teen-Age Meditation, Silent and Not - New York Times
These students at Friends Seminary, a downtown private school, have arrived for silent meeting, the traditional Quaker form of worship, based on silence and on turning inward toward each individual's inner light, on everyone listening in silence to their own inner voices.
Declared a landmark in 1969, the meeting house is used not only by Friends Seminary students, but also by the New York Friends Meeting, which gathers for Sunday morning meetings for worship, holds women's meetings and Sunday school classes, and at night -- in the Quaker tradition of community service -- runs a homeless shelter.
But the fact is, we like the principles of Friends education: respect for the individual child, the belief in community service, in tolerance and fairness, in nonviolence, in sympathy for one's fellow human beings, not only for the homeless, say, but also for one's classmates.
