Our first Meeting of Quakers in Scotland (QiS) began in worship. Friends might say, ‘Of course it did!’, but our clerk made sure nothing was assumed, and the process of a Meeting for Business for Worship was fully explained. It was a wise decision, because it transpired that among the 100-plus Friends online, from across twenty-three Local Meetings and worshipping groups, were Friends who had never previously attended Area (AM) or General Meeting for Scotland before.
