Trusting (did you-all already differentiate "trust" from
"faith" and "belief"? I may have missed it) that, when
(a member of) the congregation speak, it *is* because
"the spirit moved" him/her/them to speak? That is,
I think, integral to large-Q Quakerism. As an apparently
small-q quaker, is it problematic to you, or neutral, or
whatever the opposite of "problematic" may be?
Digression: etymologically, a "problem" is what is in
front of you. I suppose that would make its opposite
that which is behind you--if you're Luther, the Devil
(in a mass of details and a mess of ink).
