Den stille andagt finder sted den første søndag hver måned kl. 10 til 11 

Alle er velkomne! Vi har stort set altid gæster der ikke er kvæker 

Send gerne spørgsmål, mm. til kvaekerne@gmail.com

Kvækerne er et kristent fællesskab, også kendt under navnet "Vennernes Religiøse Samfund". Vores tro er mangfoldig og rummer mange forestillinger om Gud. Dét der binder os sammen er vores tro på at der findes noget værdifuldt—guddommeligt endda—der skal respekteres og erkendes, i et hvert menneske uanset nationalitet, køn, race, seksualitet, alder, eller andre ting der gør os forskellige. Udtryk som "Det indre lys", "Sandheden", "Forandringskraften", eller "Det af Gud i ethvert menneske" forsøger at sætte ord på den guddommelige del i folk der er det centrale del i vores tro.

Et væsentligt træk ved Vennernes Samfund er den stille andagt, også kaldet for Møde. Det ligner en unguidet meditation. Næsten hvert Møde kommer der folk der blot vil dyrke stille meditation i fællesskab med andre‚ uden at have nogen officiel tilknytning til kvækere‚ og det må man også godt. Disse mennesker bliver betragtet som "Venners venner" og er altid velkomne. Sammen søger vi åndelig ledelse, men der er ingen præst eller leder. Den åndelige oplevelse er personlig og ingen vil eller kan fortælle dig hvordan den skal opleves.

Det sker, at der intet siges under andagten, men en gang i mellem brydes stilheden, når nogen føler at have fået et budskab at bringe videre.

ENGLISH:

Meeting for Worship is the first Sunday of every month from 10:00 to 11:00 

Anyone is welcome! We almost always have visitors and attenders that are not quaker

Please send inquiries, etc. to kvaekerne@gmail.com 

Quakers are a religious community, also known as "the Religious Society of Friends". It has its roots in Christianity, but there is broad diversity among quakers in the world today. What keeps us together as a diverse religious community is our central belief that there is something valuable -- even divine -- that should be listened to and respected, in every person regardless of gender, race, sexual orientation, age, nationality or other things that make us different. Expressions such as "the inner light", "the Truth", "the force of change" or "that of God in every person" are merely attempts to put a name on this piece of divinity in people that is so important for our faith.

One main characteristic of the Society of Friends, is the silent worship, also called Meeting. On the surface it looks like a type of unguided, mindfulness meditation. Nearly every Meeting people come that just want to practice meditation in the company of others, without having any official attachment to quakers. These visitors are always welcome and we accept them into our greater community as "friends of Friends". Together we seek spiritual leadership, but we have no priest or leader. The spiritual experience is personal and it is up to ones self to understand and create ones own relation to the inner light.

There is no sermon or programmed speech during the silent worship, but should someone, anyone, feel moved to stand up and deliver a message that they feel has come from listenting to the inner divine, then the silence may be broken for a moment while the person delivers his or her message. Afterwards, the person sits down and the silence continues as before.
