New to Quakers?

discovering quakers

Quakers are a free-thinking faith organisation with a long tradition of challenging accepted norms, helping the disadvantaged and working for peace.

​Quakers seek to balance their inner and outer lives. We seek meaning and purpose by sitting in silence and stillness, waiting for promptings to guide our lives. For many, this leads to being actively involved in working to help others and change society for the benefit of all.

Discovering Quakers is a national initiative to help you learn out about Quaker values and practices, and how they might align with your own. You can find out more online, join one of our weekly sessions alongside other enquirers, or ask to be connected with someone at your local meeting to help you figure out if this is something you'd like to try for yourself.
