The Case of Gathered vs. Covered Meeting For Worship

Gathered: If it please the Court of Quaker Opinion, we Friends hold to the quietist, earlier known as spiritualist, mode of worship. We believe that God can and will gather our Meetings irrespective of vocal ministry.

Covered: May it interest the Court that there is an historical acknowledgment by the Western religions of the world that people assemble via pilgrimage-like procession to the place of worship. In addition, worshipers are first gathered by means of some sort of human…

Joshua 11 – The kings of the northern hill country combine with the kings along the rift valley called the Arabah (from the sea of Galilee to the Gulf of Aqaba) to fight the Israelites, but they are defeated.
