Meeting for Worship
Quakers believe in having direct, personal spiritual experiences. Silent worship facilitates this, especially in community. Sometimes Friends are led to share vocal ministry from the silence. This requires discernment.
The Religious Society of Friends
Gainesville Quaker Meeting is affiliated with Friends General Conference and is part of Southeastern Yearly Meeting (SEYM). There are many Quaker organizations that Friends support around the world.
Decentralized Leadership
At an unprogrammed Quaker meeting, everyone is a minister. That means Friends of all ages share their spiritual insights, and we share the work of running our meeting by volunteering on committees.
