WHY PARTICIPATE IN QUARTERLY MEETING?

 
Together we can do much more than on our own to foster the vitality of Quaker life, in each other and in our meetings, and the world.   

Quarterly Meetings, (aka Area Meetings in UK) were established by George Fox as part of the original infrastructure of the Religious Society of Friends, creating a sustainable framework for adjacent Monthly Meetings to provide mutual aid, pool resources, share knowledge, and problem solve larger issues than were possible for a single meeting. 

Participating in Quaker life, by visiting with friends across the Quarter is as much a spiritual practice as it is a social experience, allowing us to see how Spirit moves in each community.

Inter-visitation is one of the oldest and most rewarding practices of the Religious Society of Friends.
It allows for deeper understanding and cooperation between Quakers.

The Quaker meetings in the Abington Quarter:  Abington - Byberry -  Gwynedd – Horsham – Norristown – Plymouth – Richland – Unami - Upper Dublin

Planning your Visit

The Meetings of Abington Quarter 



01 Monthly Mtgs in Oval - COPY

 

There are 9 Monthly Meetings in Abington Quarter. You are welcome to find one near you and visit.

All Monthly Meetings hold "unprogrammed" Meeting for Worship each "First Day" (Sunday), although times vary.  An unprogrammed Meeting for Worship begins in silence, attending to the "small, still voice within." Spoken ministry is offered as those gathered for worship feel so led.

Each Monthly Meeting has its own uniqueness. Worship times vary among Meetings. Some have singing before worship. Some are more Christo-centric than others. Many offer "blended" worship, with distant members and attenders joining via Zoom those who are gathered in the Meeting House . There are various additional gatherings for sharing, either after worship or at other times throughout the week. Several Meetings have schools under their care.  

Check the links to the websites of the various Meetings for times, programs and other specifics, and to get a sense of which Meeting will best align with you.

Each of these Monthly Meetings has their own distinctive flavor: small or large membership, varying diversity of age groups and ethnic, social, economic backgrounds and theology. Monthly Meetings are the composite of all its members as they jointly express their faith.
