What is spiritual life like at Olney Friends School?
The Religious Society of Friends (Quakers), since their origination in 17th century England, has operated from the principle that the wisdom of God is available to every one of us, of whatever religious persuasion, to bring us light and guidance each day. At Olney Friends School we continue to operate from this principle. In our daily Collections and weekly Meetings for Worship, we seek to make ourselves receptive to this guiding wisdom by quieting ourselves and listening for “the still, small voice” of conscience beneath the busy, rushing thoughts of the day. We may ask ourselves: How am I really doing? How are my friends doing? What do I need? What do they need? What joys or concerns am I feeling What is my work for this day? In the silence, and in the messages others give, we may hear some answers to our questions, or simply hear the questions more clearly.
Spiritual life at Olney Friends School comprises all the formal and informal ways we seek spiritual help and meaning for our lives. -Quoted from The Olney Friends School Community Life Handbook
