A Quaker Meeting is a place for spiritual enquiry
What will you discover?
Quakers are a free-thinking faith community with a long tradition of challenging accepted norms and working for peace.
Quakers find meaning and connection by sitting in silence together, listening for promptings to guide our lives.
