I started attending a Friends Meeting in Fife, Scotland about 9 years ago, then moved to Lancs and attended Marsden Meeting (within sight of Pendle Hill) and finally have been attending Gainsville Meeting here in Florida (I joined the Friends just before leaving Lancs). other than the fact that the Florida Meeting is bigger I can't say I've noticed any obvious difference in the conduct of Meetings.

When I was in the UK recently, singing, the East Lancs Friends organised a concert for me in a wonderful early 18th Century Meeting House. The turnout was around 40 and I believe that only 2 people raised any doubts about having a musical event there.
