Simple, Soulful, Sacred Singing - Milwaukee Friends Meeting

sign in front of Milwaukee Friends Meetinghouse

While traditional Quaker worship, based on silence, has no scheduled singing as part of worship, Quakers are among the singing-est and dancing-est of folks around. Don Pardee did a simple recording of 6 folks from Milwaukee Friends Meeting singing a sampling of songs they share Sunday mornings before worship. Jim Schacht, Don Pardee, & Andrea Jehly share about the music they made, along with Sally Durgerian, Kay Augustine, and Jennifer Dahlquist.

Just listened to this wonderful programme from Northern Spirit Radio about the Quaker singing at the Milwauke Friends Meeting. Thank you to the singers and to Mark, who hosts the programme. Now, how do I buy the CD?

Thanks for sharing this. I'd expected to just enjoy the singing, but the talk about singing, listening, dancing and joy is equally wonderful.
