Welcome!
We meet at 51 Winter Street in Edgartown, in the Parish House across the street from St. Andrews Episcopal Church. Enter from the side porch.

You are among Friends
Meeting for Worship is a special time, away from our worldly concerns, in which we are joined in the silent waiting upon God and openness to Spirit that is known to Friends as centering down. We are given Light to guide our lives and strength to follow it. Some may be led to speak. Such a message is usually brief, phrased simply, and followed by renewed silence, a seed which may open further, but not an occasion for responding.

Friends have found that

• There is that of God in every human being.
• From this we know that love of God is inseparable from love of one's neighbor, no exceptions.
• It has been called the Inner Light, the Seed, the Christ, though it is beyond name and form.
• This reality of Spirit communicates itself to us directly as we are open to it.
• When we seek its leading it opens a way through all contentions and conflict.
• From this naturally flow testimonies of simplicity, equality, and peace, with no need of creed or dogma.
• There is truth yet to be discovered and revelation of truth continues, even to those whom God takes unawares as well as to diligent seekers.

Meetings for business are a continuation of Meeting for Worship, and are held in that spirit. In any disagreement, Friends seek resolution not in compromise of positions, but in reaching unity with that of God within ourselves and one another.
