Quaker Business Process


Quakers conduct business through "monthly meetings for worship with attention to business" and through committee meetings. The Quaker process that is used to conduct business is radically different from the manner in which business is conducted in modern society. In making decisions, Quakers strive for a "sense of the meeting."

We believe that by following Quaker process, we will be led to a view of the truth and God's direction for us.

To understand this process the Madison Monthly Meeting Ministry and Counsel Committee has prepared a document consisting of four chapters describing the process. Click on the appropriate chapter header to continue or you may download a tri-fold version or a large print version to print.

Dig deeply
Cast forth the loose matter
and get down to the
rock, sure foundation
to the Divine Voice
which gives a
clear and certain sound.
