Moyallon Quaker Meeting
Quakers meet together in silence believing that the Holy Spirit, however perceived will lead us to worship. Any person who feels moved to do so may speak at the meeting.We believe that God exists in everyone, so that anyone can experience divine love and guidance.
Quakers have great diversity of belief, and while words can divide us, the shared experience of silent worship, seeking to practice Christ’s message of love and compassion unites us. We know ours is not the only path to God, but believe it is the right one for us.
Quakerism is rooted in Christianity. We are formally known as the Religious Society of Friends. Currently, there are just over 1,500 members in Ireland.
The centre of Quaker spiritual life is Meeting for Worship. There are 28 Meetings throughout Ireland, North and South. People of all faiths or none are welcome to attend.
Since their foundation in the 17th century, Quakers have been encouraged to walk cheerfully over the world, answering to that of God in everyone.
