What Newcomers Appreciate About Us

Birmingham Friends Meeting: What newcomers appreciate about us

Quakerism originates in Christianity.

• We are a community of active, engaged people who live their values

  • “Lives that speak”

  • Newcomers notice our collective energy

  • For some, engagement and community are enough

• We are spiritual seekers

  • Our worship grows out of silence and is the center of what we do

  • In our Meeting we have people from varying spiritual backgrounds

  • Here we continue our spiritual journeys together

• We are organized around committees and activities: things we do together

• Birmingham Friends Meeting is our “home”

• Our time together is full of joy

• For many, organization without structure and doctrine is welcome

• We care for each other

• People are free to participate or not, without judgement

• We are welcoming

• We love and embrace every generation and every person

• We ask nothing specific from those who worship with us

• We become stronger as new people join us

Come join us!
