Friends Meeting House -Just Breathe

Mostly non-theistic Friends

The actual meeting house is adjacent to the school, which is pictured above.

# I attended here many Sunday mornings when I lived in Chester County. I went there primarily to meditate, as most of the time there was quiet. There were no priests and near the beginning of the hour someone would very briefly read from a verse from the Bible, but other than that there was no mention of God or Christ, hence the term “non-theistic”. On occasion someone in attendance might stand to say whatever was on their mind, but it was brief and their was no further discussion of the subject.

Meditation was very important to me, as I worked many hours in the week and had thee children who required my attention as well as my house that required constant upkeep.

So, these “meetings” was my time to calm myself and gain a bit of peace. I always came away refreshed. And I still practice meditation at home.
