Quaker faith is rooted in the belief that God exists in everyone. This means every person is precious and can experience God directly. We think of this as an inner light or spirit – a divine spark that inspires and guides us.

Quakers worship in silence – an active silence we call stillness. In the stillness we seek to connect with God, each other and the world around us. It is where we find the strength and inspiration for everything we do. 🙏 Find a Quaker meeting near you:
