Location of Johannesburg Meeting
Crispian Robin Wood your nearest Meeting will be found at Quaker House, 3 Gordon Terrace, Yeoville. QH is actually right on the border with Doornfontein and right in the vicinity of Ellis Park so so there is some disruption to traffic flow when there are major sporting events scheduled for Sundays. Meeting for Worship takes place every Sunday from 09h30 until 10h30.

What makes a worthwhile spiritual community is the real, rather than lip service, spiritual committments of the members of that community and in that Quakers are no different to any other spiritual community. A Quaker Meeting is alive and well to the degree that the members of that Meeting are committed to walking their own spiritual journeys. The Quaker difference perhaps is that because there are no structures or hierarchies to hide behind, poor spiritual practice of the individual members is immediately obvious in the quality of the Meeting
For public worship I prefer Quaker British-type silent (or unprogrammed worship), but in private use apart from silent sitting, Reconstructionist Siddur/prayer service books - 5 times daily.
I know xtian monastic Liturgy of the Hours RC, Anglican and Orthodox in a few languages well - and have a number of monastic in their homes and communities associated with me. I also still have a few Orthodox parishes and a hispanic seminary by correspondance under me. And two Yahoo lists (one for interfaith, the other about 415 members, interdenominational, to provide info on monasticism, contemplative and meditative practices, traditional and newer communities , assist people with vocations: creating or finding communities). I live as a solitary or hermit and have a number of hermits - different traditions, associated with me.
I suppose I'm interfaith (with the USA Quaker Universalists), accept people from any or no faith; but to me "God" is beyond human concepts and images - why Quaker Silent Worship and Quaker 'spirit' expresses what I found I am at heart. I'm in my sixties.
Hope I did not sound to egocentric in providing the above.
Thanks for the contact, as never see anyone Quaker here in SA, being so far away from the few existing groups.
