In praise of open-ended questions. In praise of the Society of Friends. In praise of any faith community which makes no assumptions about why a person is there.
A friend attended a Quaker meeting
Last Sunday.
She was asked
What brought you here today?
It allowed
Any answer she wished.
It allowed
For conversation.
It allowed
For her to share
At any level
That seemed appropriate
To her.
She could say
I came by bus.
She could say
I am exploring churches.
She could say
God told me to come here today.
She could say
Absolutely anything
At all.
