The Rhetoric of Silence: The Society of Friends' Unprogrammed Meeting for Worship.

Lippard, Paula V.

Communication Quarterly, v36 n2 p145-56 Spr 1988

Examines the Society of Friends' unprogrammed Meeting for Worship as a unique form of rhetoric. Presents the philosophical bases of Quaker worship as contributing to a participatory form of rhetoric in which silence is the primary means of group identification and in which source and audience merge in the emergent vocal ministry.
