The heart of the Quaker way is the silent meeting for worship. We seek a communal gathered stillness, where we can be open to inspiration from the Spirit of God.

In our meetings we find peace of mind and challenging insights, deep community and a renewed sense of individual purpose, and joy to wonder at God’s creation.

During our meetings for worship, some may feel moved by the Spirit to speak: something anyone may do, as all are considered equal. Quakers take care that spoken messages are truly meant to be shared in a spirit of worship.

Quakers do not have priests, or a hierarchy, as we believe all people can have a direct relationship with God.
