===Quaker meeting for worship=== {{main|Meeting for worship|Quakers#Worship}} [[Quakers]] (the Religious Society of Friends), like other [[Nonconformist (Protestantism)|Nonconformist]] Protestant denominations, distinguish between a [[church (congregation)|church]], which is a body of people who believe in Christ, and a '[[meeting house]]' or '[[chapel]]', which is a building where the church meets.<ref>{{cite web|last1=Wakeling|first1=Christopher|title=Nonconformist Places of Worship: Introductions to Heritage Assets|url=https://historicengland.org.uk/images-books/publications/iha-nonconformist-places-of-worship/|publisher=[[Historic England]]|access-date=28 March 2017|date=August 2016|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170328195437/https://content.historicengland.org.uk/images-books/publications/iha-nonconformist-places-of-worship/heag139-nonconformist-places-of-worshipi-iha.pdf/|archive-date=28 March 2017|url-status=dead}}</ref><ref>{{cite book|last1=Jones|first1=Anthony|title=Welsh Chapels|access-date=28 March 2017|date=1996|publisher=National Museum Wales|isbn=9780750911627|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=k6zjuTAnuzcC|language=en}}</ref> Quakers have both unprogrammed and programmed meetings for worship. Unprogrammed worship is based on waiting in silence and inward listening to the Spirit, from which any participant may share a message. In unprogrammed meetings for worship, someone speaks when that person feels that God/Spirit/the universe has given them a message for others. Programmed worship includes many elements similar to Protestant services, such as a sermon and hymns. Many programmed meetings also include a time during the service for silent, expectant waiting and messages from the participants.
