People of Color Worship & Reflection Group (“POC”) is a worship group conducted in the manner of the Religious Society of Friends and is under the care of Manhattan Monthly Meeting. POC is committed to the “open, expectant religion” envisioned by the original founders of Quakerism with an emphasis on exploring the rich spiritual heritage and traditions of People of Color in America.

“There is a principle, which is pure, placed in the human mind, which in different places and ages hath had different names. It is, however, pure and proceeds from God. It is deep and inward, confined to no forms of religion nor excluded from any, where the heart stands in perfect sincerity. In whomsoever this takes root and grows, of what nation soever, they become brethren.” John Woolman, 1776

The group meets at 10:00 am on second Sundays at Flushing Meeting.
