Nottingham Quakers

Quakers respect the creative power of God in every human being and in the world around us.

We work through quiet processes for a world where peaceful means bring about just settlements.

Quakers meet in Nottingham every Sunday morning from 10.30 - 11.30 am.
The meeting is based on silence, an expectant silence of waiting, in which we seek to come nearer to each other and God. The silence may be broken if a worshipper has an overwhelming call to share something with the other worshippers.

The meeting ends after an hour with the shaking of hands.  Coffee or tea is available after the meeting - why not stay for a chat?

Friend or Quaker? a Quaker is someone of the Religious Society of Friends.   Either term may be used.

These pages are more than a report of what Quakers do, who we are and what we think. They are a taste of our community: a community where we can grow mutual understanding and empathy; where we can ask questions not because we are seeking 'off pat' answers but because by asking we discover new possibilities. We like to think we are adventurous; daring to think startling ideas; daring to respond to joys, to sorrows, and to our senses as individuals and not in a dogmatically prescribed way. If you are a visitor to this site we hope you will see that far from being dull and mentally straight jacketed, we are a lively group of radical thinkers constantly re-adjusting as new ideas are absorbed. We are not exclusive and welcome others to join us in our intellectually and spiritually stimulating life. We do not require that you become a Quaker to do that and welcome visitors to our meetings and activities.
