Today's young adult needs the community the meeting took for granted. We have to start from scratch with every new job, every new neighborhood and every stage of life. I see a new form for us. Friends can help create new meetings. Our practices are free from central authority, creeds and steeplehouses.
People can have a meeting anywhere, anytime.
The immediacy of a gathered meeting can form new communities of faith very simply. We have the accumulated wisdom of a successful, liberal, powerful and egalitarian way of spiritual communal experience. In the information age this is good information to share. We don't have to attach young people to meetings, we have to attach them to the way and the truth and the life. If they share it with others we can help them start new meetings, with Quaker oversight and care.
