Summary "An Interpretation of Friends Worship" by N. Jean Toomer is a treatise on the Quaker approach to worship, produced in the mid-20th century. This work seeks to guide readers through the fundamental principles and practices of Friends worship, emphasizing the importance of inwardness and direct communion with God. It touches upon the nature of spiritual experience, the need for silent waiting, and the dynamics of communal worship among Quakers. The book delves into the essence of worship as an innate human need that springs from love and the desire for connection with God. Toomer explains that true worship arises from an internal awakening to divine presence, which is facilitated by moments of silence and shared spiritual practice among Friends. He discusses the significance of quiet reflection, preparation for worship, and the way individuals can cultivate a deeper awareness of God's reality in their lives. Through answering questions about the nature of prayer and the role of speaking during worship, the text aims to inspire both newcomers and seasoned Friends to engage more fully with their spiritual expressions, fostering a vibrant, living practice of worship.
