Resources area

Quaker Centre Resources holds a wide range of books, tapes, slides, videos, pictures and packs which can be borrowed for Quaker adult study groups, children's meetings, link groups, and all ages together. For more information go to Quaker Resources area. 

Worship space

You are welcome to use this space for quiet worship, either by yourself or joining with others. In the stillness of a Quaker meeting each person tries to draw closer to God, whatever their understanding of God may be.

During this quiet time anyone present may feel led to express a thought or feeling they are experiencing. There is no prearranged programme and no person is directing what happens. This simple way of worship is modern yet over 350 years old. It is open to anyone who will join the silence.
