I went to Friends Meeting (Quakers) until I was in college. Meeting for worship is an hour of silence (meditation). Silence is broken only when an individual is "moved to speak", presumably by the presence of God...

Group meditation is very powerful...

In many ways AA is like the Friends, especially the group conscious thing.
