It's quaint. Let's pretend it's not really a religion.


What is your problem?

Do you actually have a child there? If your kid is in the hs, you'd know that there is mandatory Meeting for Worship. It definitely feels less"religious" than going to chapel at the Cathedral schools, but yes, your child will be attending the religious services of a religion that is likely not your own.


I think I know what religion you are (and it’s not Christian, just in case the Catholics freak out). You could learn a lot, like advance by several centuries, by emulating Quakers. Maybe even join us in the contemporary age


This might be on the grounds of a competing religion. Which to my knowledge doesn’t have any comparable schools

You know it’s not called that.

You have a problem with the community coming together, try the “anonymous petition” again.

Here’s hoping that’s true. Some of the anti-SFS posters on here though. Pesky and persistent

Why can't you just answer OP's question? Why obfuscate?

Answer is there is a mandatory weekly Quaker worship service for all hs students and faculty.

Sidwell website says, "reach week all students and teachers gather together in Meeting for Worship," which is the term Quakers everywhere use for their regular weekly service. The rest of the paragraph describes what is the usual unprogrammed service mode of a Quaker service.

And the problem is? Again, I strongly believe I know who you are.

The website is very clear. The school is very open to discussing it.

I know exactly, and think I know you as well. When will you give it a rest?

Why so defensive? Why obfuscate?

Just answer OP's question. By the time your child reaches high school, they will attend a weekly Quaker worship service.

You, PP, might like it, or accept it as part of the price of having your kid at Sidwell. But others might be concerned about their child attending another religion's service each week---or at minimum, might want to know what to expect.

I guess it's late and you're getting weird. You don't know me, or my religion (also weird that you're focused on my religion).
