About Us The Pullman-Moscow Friends' Meeting meets at 11:30 a.m. on Sunday in the Campus Christian Center on the University of Idaho campus (822 Elm St.) for unprogrammed worship. Worship continues until 12:30. "Unprogrammed" means our meeting has no established minister, rather we follow the tradition of sitting together in silence until anyone of us feels compelled to speak (minister) for spiritual, personal or humanitarian reasons. Sometimes this urge to minster is described as being "guided by the Spirit", or "testifying in accordance with The Light Within," or "bearing wittness to that bit of God Within Everyone." Frequently no one speaks at all--as many of us believe sitting together in respectful silence can often be as meaningful as shared verbal declarations. Yet at other times, several people may enhance and enlighten the group with their ministrations and heartfelt expressions. Meeting for worship for buisness is usually scheduled to follow meeting for worship on the first Sunday of each month unless otherwise posed--See News and Events . Our Meeting's mailing address is PO Box 612, Pullman, WA 99163. The Pullman-Moscow Friends' Meeting owns a small collection of Quaker materials, which may be checked out upon request. There are also links to many sources of Friends publications on our Links page. For more specifics about what Friends believe and how Friends conduct their meetings see the special links section on Faith and Practice. Clerk of Meeting: George Bridges
