World Quaker Day 2026: Let Peace Be Among Us

World Quaker Day is on 4 October 2026, and this year’s theme is Let Peace Be Among Us with the supporting Bible passage, Hebrews 12:14, “Make every effort to live in peace with everyone and to be holy.”

Friends World Committee for Consultation (FWCC) is planning a massive Global Online Worship on the day, bringing together Friends across borders, languages and Quaker traditions with a shared focus on peace. 

The worship is planned to start at 10:00 am EDT (14:00 UTC) and last for 8+ hours, reaching across many time zones from the Americas to Aotearoa/New Zealand. Each hour of worship will be dedicated to a part of the world where prayers for peace are particularly needed – you’re welcome to join for as little or as long as you’d like.

Stay tuned for further updates about how to join online here or in our monthly e-newsletter, Friends World News (you can subscribe at the bottom of this page). In the meantime, you may wish to:
