About Quakerism

The Religious Society of Friends, also known as Quakers or simply Friends, was formed in England in the 1600’s. According to Friends General Conference, there are over 81,000 Quakers in the United States and Canada. While Quakers do not require members to profess a particular creed, we share a set of values, beliefs and testimonies that guide our worship and daily lives.

There are several wider Quaker organizations with which individual meetings can affiliate. London Grove Monthly Meeting is affiliated with Philadelphia Yearly Meeting, which is part of Friends General Conference. These organizations provide guidance, resources, and support to individual meetings.
