Topeka Friends Meeting's Experience with Quaker Quest

“Taking on the idea of doing Quaker Quest was pretty scary to us, could we do it? After the first workshop ... we said yes we can!” – Marjorie Van Buren from Topeka Friends Meeting, Fall 2010

Topeka Friends Meeting, which has 10-12 members and attenders just held public Quaker Quest sessions after working with FGC through the full Quaker Quest process.

A group of 20 seekers attended their 6 public sessions. Many of those seekers returned for multiple sessions, meaning newcomers visited their meeting 50 times in a six week period. Enough people noticed Quaker Quest that the local newspaper, the Topeka Capital Journal, wrote a story about it.

Audio: Hear Marjorie share the experience herself.


It can take 15-20 seconds for the audio to cue-up, especially if you have a slow internet connection. If you see a spinning circle, the audio is still cuing - wait for 10-15 seconds longer and try again.
