Quaker History & Belief. Quakerism was founded in England in 1652 on the realisation that each and every person could have direct experience of God. Quaker belief is rooted in Christianity, but it is not a strict or exclusive sect. Quakers welcome diversity and accept that all religions may have something to say about our relationship with one another and with God.
Quaker Meetings. In a Quaker Meeting there are no hymns, readings or set prayers. As people arrive, they sit in silence, each free to reflect and pray in their own way, but in the company of others. Occasionally someone may interrupt the silence, stand, and speak to the meeting as a whole, sharing an insight, prayer or experience. The meeting ends after about an hour. Everyone is welcome to visit a Quaker meeting on a Sunday morning.
