Discover a different way to worship

Quaker meetings are open to everyone. You do not have to be a Quaker to attend. You can find your nearest meeting at www.quaker.org.uk/meetings.

Worship is at the heart of what it means to be a Quaker. We meet together in stillness so we can quiet our minds and open our hearts and lives to God. We don't have songs, set prayers or talks you might find in other places of worship.

Our worship may take us to a deep place, beyond our own thoughts and ideas and help us respond more creatively to our lives and the world around us. We do not have priests or anyone leading the worship – we believe all people are equal, we can all have a direct relationship with God.
