Brochures for this new offering are available in the school office. Silence has a power and a movement that can be surprising. Silence speaks, and often truth is heard. Dorothy Flanagan, co-founder of Stratford Friends School and a part of Friends education for more than 30 years, wrote of the particular part of a Friends school that connects us to the Quaker practice of a silent meeting for worship. At Greenwood, we gather once a week as a corporate body, entering the library in quiet, sitting close together, and waiting for the silence to fill us.
Silence is the medium that crosses many spiritual lives.
It respects the diversity of faiths in the school community, while nurturing the spiritual lives of students and teachers. Parents and friends are welcome to join our meetings for worship. The project is Kris's eighth grade independent study with a mentor, Rand, and will represent cooperative efforts with the other students, language arts and social studies teacher Shelly Mato, and Susan Stone. The goal of the film is to present the peace testimony of Friends through the years. Kris was co-director with Nathan Rockwood of last year's entry.
