Being Quaker

Find out what it means to be a Quaker

Being Quaker is a short course for anyone curious about what it means to be a Quaker.

The course meets in small groups and together, we explore:

  • Quaker worship
  • Quaker past and future
  • Quaker process
  • Quaker living

Being Quaker offers a welcoming space to learn, reflect, and share, alongside experienced Friends and others at a similar stage in their journey.

The course is helpful if you are considering membership, but it is equally valuable if you are simply curious and would like to deepen your understanding of Quaker faith and practice.  It is equally useful for those new to Quakers and those who have attended for a while and would like to learn more.

Course Dates

The next course is in June/July, over 4 Thursday evenings starting 18th June.  The course is free.
