A Joint and Visible Fellowship
These little essays have a homogeneity of subject: they treat of worship. Worship is regarded as a universal feature of religion; but I often wonder how many worshippers know how to worship or know what they worship. Are they not like the Athenians or the Samaritans mentioned respectively in Acts and in the Gospel of John?
Although the Quaker manner of worship � and that is the background of Beatrice Snell�s writing � is in some ways the most distinctive in Protestantism, it is as likely as others to become habitual, or formal, or self centered, or without meaning. There is, therefore, no sectarian limitation in the advice of the following pages that we enrich our worship, whatever its manner, by the more conscious sense of having fellow worshippers to give it collective breadth and reality.
