Memphis Friends Meeting

A warm welcome from the Memphis Friends Meeting (Quakers)

Who We Are​

The Memphis Friends Meeting of the Religious Society of Friends is an unprogrammed, non-pastoral Quaker Meeting.

Unprogrammed worship is silent worship. We enter the meeting room silently. Our first task when worship begins is to center down, to still the clamor of the world, to turn our attention to the inner voice.

The best way to find out if silent, or unprogrammed, worship speaks to your condition is to experience it. Everyone is welcome! We affirm and acknowledge the wholeness of all people, including their gender identities, gender expressions, and sexual orientations.

Our Quaker umbrella organizations are The Southern Appalachian Yearly Meeting and Association (SAYMA) and the Friends General Conference (FGC).

Memphis Friends Meeting is situated on the land of the Chickasaw, a land visited and used by many Native peoples in ancient times and a land revisited by Chickasaw members in 1994 in a ceremonial homecoming to reclaim this homeland where their heart and soul still reside, though they have established major societies elsewhere in this country.

    The “C” in SPICES By Adrian I’ve been thinking a lot about what creates an authentic community. At Illinois Yearly Meeting last June, I had the chance to talk with Windy Cooler whom I had met at a Pendle Hill retreat a few years ago. As she talked about her many experiences with both healthy…

    Mowing and Gardening By Carol The first spring in our meetinghouse (2009) we grappled not only with how to organize our rooms but also how to manage our yards. Mowing was a challenge because we have three — front, side, and back. We soon realized the front yard was mainly for show, the side yard…

    2BNew or New2B By Kali As encouragement to new Quakers with a mix of questions, doubts, and wonder, I think it’s like that for long-time Quakers, too! Imagine how new it must have felt for the first Quakers nearly 400 years ago. They had serious doubts about the religious thought of their day and felt…
