Banbury Quakers in Brief

Meeting Update - Summer 2008

3rd and 5th Sundays May-September Meeting will be at the Adderbury Meeting House on Hornhill Rd, Adderbury at the slightly later time of 11am

Banbury Quakers come together for worship at The Friends Meeting House, Horsefair, Banbury, Oxfordshire every Sunday at 10.30 for about an hour with tea and coffee after. From time to time we have a shared lunch after meeting where we can get to know each other in a more social way.

Children are welcome to any meeting, however there is a separate children's meeting the second Sunday of every month, where children learn together often using art and craft to bring together the ideas they have.

"The bedrock of the Quaker way is the silent meeting for worship. We seek a communal gathered stillness, where we can be open to inspiration from the Spirit of God and find peace of mind, a renewed sense of purpose for living, and joy to wonder at God's creation.

During our meetings for worship some may feel moved to speak: something anyone can do, as all are considered equal. Quakers do not have priests, or a hierarchy, as we believe all people can have a direct relationship with God.

You do not have to be a Quaker to attend Quaker meetings, which are open to all. Meetings can be held anywhere, at any time, although they are often on Sundays in our Quaker meeting houses. If you would like to join us and share in our stillness you would be most welcome."
