About Quakers

Introduction to Quakerism

If you are new to Quakerism we hope that the documents below will give you a good start into understanding what Quakers are about. We would strongly urge you, however, to come to meeting for worship (check out list of meetings to find one near you), because only that way can you actually experience it. Use Quaker Finder to locate meetings outside of our region.
