The Quaker way of life
Quakers share a way of life, not a set of beliefs.
Our unity is based on silent worship, where we seek a communal stillness.
Beginning with stillness our faith becomes action.
The Quaker commitment to peace, equality, simplicity, sustainability and truth arises from the conviction that love is at the heart of existence and that all human beings are unique and equal.
Our Quaker meetings
We meet for worship at five locations:
- Billericay
- Brentwood (the meeting house is in Shenfield)
- Chelmsford
- Leigh-on-Sea
- Maldon
Our Meetings for Worship are mostly held on Sunday mornings, and last for about an hour.
All are welcome to join us for Meeting for Worship at any of these locations. There is no ceremony, and we are not led by a priest or minister. In the stillness we each seek our personal spiritual truth. Anyone may feel moved to share their insights with the others present.
We look forward to meeting you, answering any questions that you may have, and sharing some refreshments after our Meeting for Worship.
