Swindon Quaker Meeting Quakers value a spiritual dimension to life, ethical living, and in seeking these things in an inclusive community. We share a way of life rather than a set of beliefs. Quaker unity is based on shared understanding and a shared practice of silent worship – a communal stillness. Quakers seek to experience God directly – within ourselves and in relation to others and the wider world. Quakerism is rooted in Christianity and has always found inspiration in the life and teachings of Jesus. We recognise that truths are also found in other faiths, and that spiritual learning continues throughout life, in the natural world, the sciences and arts and in the experiences of daily life. Quakers try to live with honesty and integrity. This means speaking truth to all, including people in positions of power. The Quaker commitment to peace arises from the conviction that love is at the heart of existence and that all human beings are unique and equal. This leads Quakers to put faith into action. Visitors are very welcome to come to our Meeting for Worship on Sundays at 10.30 am. The Quaker approach may or may not be for you, but we would be delighted to help you find out. Our meetings are currently a mix of people meeting ‘in person’ at 79 Eastcott Hill, and on zoom. There is usually some parking space at the Meeting House. We observe current government guidance and advise facemasks and social distancing indoors (subject to change of course).
