Trusting (did you-all already differentiate "trust" from "faith" and "belief"? I may have missed it) that, when (a member of) the congregation speak, it *is* because "the spirit moved" him/her/them to speak? That is, I think, integral to large-Q Quakerism. As an apparently small-q quaker, is it problematic to you, or neutral, or whatever the opposite of "problematic" may be? Digression: etymologically, a "problem" is what is in front of you. I suppose that would make its opposite that which is behind you--if you're Luther, the Devil (in a mass of details and a mess of ink).
