		WILTON — The benches in the Wilton Meeting House on New Canaan Road date back to the 1700s, the century after English Dissenter George Fox established the Quaker ideals still revered by those who sit on those benches today, but the meeting house itself has a much newer history.
		HGFNS was founded by Wilton Meeting Member Helen Gander, she said, who had a vision of creating a nursery school environment that was "cradled in the testimonies of Quakerism," which include simplicity, peace, integrity, community and equality [SPICE].
		Wilton Meeting gathers each Sunday morning, he said, and they enter into what is called "the silence." Members sit in silence for roughly an hour, Johnson said, unless a member feels a divine message filtering through him or her to the group or someone in the group.

		The house is approximately 5 1/2" square and almost 5" tall.
		My love of gingerbread houses means I have built several from "scratch." I designed the buildings, built test structures out of cardboard, mixed dough, baked extra pieces (just in case), dried them, carefully assembled the house, dried that and then finally began decorating.
		The house was covered in bubble wrap to ensure it remained in one piece.
