Quakers affirm and celebrate diversity, equality and inclusion.

We welcome seekers of all ancestries and cultures, all sexualities and genders, all socio-economic backgrounds, all capacities and abilities.

Religious - non - religious backgrounds or beliefs. 

We strive to value the gifts in all people because we believe that the beauty and richness of creation is in diversity.

 

MEETING FOR WORSHIP

 

The Meeting for Worship is central to the Quaker way of life. Quakers gather in silence, normally on a Sunday. The silence is an active listening for the spirit within, which has been practised by Friends for over 350 years. When moved by the Spirit, someone may give spoken ministry which emerges from silence and leads back into silence. Other special-purpose meetings such as meetings for marriages and funerals are also held in a spirit of silent worship.

Anyone is welcome to join us for Meeting for Worship.
