What Are Friends (Quakers)?
The concept of the Inner Light being present in every human soul lies at the center of the Quaker faith.  Friends generally believe that first-hand knowledge of God is only possible through that which is experienced, or inwardly revealed to the individual human being through the working of God's quickening Spirit.
Quaker Meeting for Worship happens when two or more people feel the need to be still together and seek God's presence.  In attentive waiting together in silence, Friends can receive spiritual awakening, a renewed sense of purpose for living, the awe and joy of being fully alive and connected to all of creation.  Our experience has been that the spiritual quality of our faith and practice has been enriched over these years by the full participation and leadership of all Friends and friends.  We celebrate the inclusion of individuals, couples, or families in all aspects of the life of our Meeting.
