Memphis Friends Meeting (Quaker)

The best way to find out if silent, or unprogrammed, worship speaks to your condition is to experience it. Everyone is welcome! It is our intent to affirm and acknowledge the wholeness of all people, including their gender identities, gender expressions, and sexual orientations.

How We Worship

Unprogrammed worship is silent worship. We enter the meeting room silently. Our first task when worship begins is to center down, to still the clamor of the world, to turn our attention to the inner voice.

What's New

On Memorial Day

The query for Meeting for Worship on May 30 was: "It’s Memorial Day weekend. A ritual time set aside to remember and memorialize, especially those who died in wartime. Who do you remember? Do you have any rituals of remembrance? What might a Quaker Memorial Day look like?"
