NYC Quakers are friendly, spiritually-led, peaceful, truth-seeking activists.

Quakers believe there is "that of God" in everyone. We value peace, integrity, equality, and stewardship. NYC Quakers help each other “live our faith out loud.”

Who are NYC Quakers?

Katherine Alford Brooklyn MM kitchen 2024 800 Square

To see, honor and celebrate the Light in everyone is so simple and true. I am deeply nurtured, grounded and moved by our practice of silent worship. Friends' commitment to peace, equality and justice has been an inspiring and clear path to follow. Meeting feels like coming home.

Worship With Us

Seeking peace? All are welcome to attend worship at one of the Quaker meetings (congregations) in New York City. Most of our meetings hold silent, "unprogrammed" worship. People who are divinely inspired to share a message can speak out of the silence. Manhattan Meeting holds a pastor-led, programmed service.
