Some years ago I remember my dad talking about attending a "Silent Supper". He was a small boy at the time (probably during the early 1940s). He remembered everyone would have dinner but no one was allowed to speak. After supper, strange things were supposed to occur (in his case a strong wind came up almost out of nowhere and blew over a large stack of wood). I believe these practices were based on a religious belief of exorcising evil spirts, or something. At the time they were of the Apostolic faith (Church of God or Assembly of God). Has anyone heard of such a practice? Cindy
