Hammersmith Quakers

We gather every Sunday at 11 in silent communal worship to wait on the Spirit. Our Meeting House in West London is an oasis of peace, calm, inspiration and joy.

‘The time has passed for the complacent assumption of an unchanged world.’ Rufus Jones

Quakers reckon that there is something of God in everyone - something loving and yearning for truth. We don’t all feel comfortable with the word “God” which may have difficult associations. We also speak of “the promptings of love and truth”.

Quaker Mark Russ writes of Meeting for Worship:
“Our meetings are not private silent retreats. They are spaces for the spirit to move and do surprising things. Our worship can be a place of adventure and experiment and learning …”

Are you new to Quakers and keen to find out more? Are you an experienced Quaker but want to refresh your knowledge? This course sets out the Quaker ‘basics’, and is an ideal next step after the ‘Essentials of Quakerism’ course.

@MartinSLewis @rickyboleto What a great piece by Ricky and @BBCNewsround to help us talk about the cost of living crisis. We've written a new resource for parents & carers on talking to children about money worries. Please share to anyone who’d find this helpful. https://t.co/LtzPFbUr23

There are many kinds of prayer. Some ask for help or forgiveness. Some show gratitude or wonder. These are all based on common human feelings. Quakers also try to wait in quietness, which can be hard, to attend to the promptings of love and truth, and to be led by the Spirit.

[Zoom Quaker Quest @ZoomQuakerQuest]

In 1987 Quaker John Punshon wrote that he found Meeting for Worship an “opportunity for prolonged and undisturbed prayer” and described prayer as “the encounter with God in the heart”.

We had a visiting Friend at Meeting for worship this morning.
