Venue: Detroit Friends Meeting
The workshop, Exploring the "Secret Power" Among Us, takes up what Robert Barclay, a 17th-century Quaker publicist, called the secret power among us. Friends then and Friends today have had many names for this Inward Light and many experience it quite differently, if at all. During this two-and-a-half-hour workshop we will explore this power individually and together. How does it show up in our individual and corporate experiences? What difference does it make in our lives? How might we broaden and deepen our experience of and commitment to this Inward Teacher?
Hosted by Detroit Friends Meeting (19309 Greenfield Road, Detroit MI 48235)
Michael Wajda currently serves as clerk of the Steering Committee for the Quaker Call to Protect Democracy.

Venue: Bacon Park in Berkley
The Royal Oak Chamber of Commerce space will be unavailable May 10, 2026, so we will be worshiping in an alternate location. Weather permitting, we will meet at Bacon Park (formerly known as Jaycee Park) in Berkley, Michigan. The park is on the south side of Webster (12½ Mile) between Coolidge and Greenfield (slightly closer to Greenfield than Coolidge) between Phillips and Bacon streets. For perspective, this park is just southwest of the Royal Oak Beaumont hospital complex. People should bring their chairs. If inclement weather, the back-up worship location will be at the home of Jimmi Ajlouny. Zoom will be maintained.
