Forthcoming Events
There are not so many activities at the Meeting House, apart from Meetings for Worship, during the holiday months. But in September and October four evening meetings are planned, commencing on 22 September on the History of Quakerism, and on 19 September, after lunch, an Ecumenical Accompanier recently returned from Palestine/Israel will be telling us of her experiences there. Keep an eye on the Forthcoming Events page in September for details. The current page lists the dates and times of Meetings for Worship during July and August.
The Religious Society of Friends, or Quakers, began in seventeenth century
England as a reaction to aspects of the established Christian church.
We have no written creed, holding faith to be a matter for the individual, but
we seek the truth within ourselves, and the good in everyone.
We make no distinction between clergy and laity, all being free to share in our
silence-based worship, in ministry, in pastoral care and in contributing to the community.
Quakers are widely known for their commitment to peace and justice, and for their relief work.
