Group Singing as Communion

by John Scardina
Purchase Meeting

 

I started singing with Peter and Annie Blood-Patterson (co-creators of Rise Up Singing and Rise Again) at Friends General Conference in 1989. In 1991 — as a response to the first Iraq War — I began joining them in their home once a month for a community sing as an artistic response to war. Since then I have led such sing-along sessions in many places, including NYYM’s Summer Sessions.

December 6-8, 2024, Online via Zoom

Find out what’s happening with other Quakers in our region, and hear reports of committees’ good works. There will be items that require discernment from the “body” of the yearly meeting — decisions to be made under direction from the “inner source.” If you care about Quakers, Quakerism, or the Quaker community in the NYYM region, you are warmly invited and encouraged to attend these business sessions. All events will be online, making these sessions accessible to anyone with a computer, tablet, smartphone, or regular phone.
