Welcome

Annapolis Friends Meeting, which is located off North Bestgate at the
end of DuBois Road. We are a spiritual fellowship where all people of
diverse religious outlook, race, age, sexual orientation, income level,
education, physical and mental ability and other human qualities are
always welcome. Our meeting house is wheelchair
accessible and has a hearing assistance system.
Our
Sunday meeting for worship
is from 11:00 am – 12:00 pm. First
Day School (Sunday
School) and childcare are
provided for the children and youth during this time. Our
monthly meeting for worship with a concern for business
is from 9:00 am – 10:45 am on the first Sunday of each month.
Following business meeting is 11:00 meeting for worship then a potluck
to which all are invited.
We
warmly welcome you to join us in worship.
In the historic practice of the Religious Society of Friends, we sit
quietly together in expectant silence to know the presence of the
Divine Spirit and to wait for that “still small
voice” of the living God to lead us. There is no prearranged
program or outward sacrament, but all share in the ministry of silence
or, if so led, in simple spoken ministry.
Our
core belief is that God
endows each human being with a measure of the Divine Spirit, or Inward
Light. As we grow in awareness of this Light and submit ourselves to
its leadings, we are enabled to live in conformity to the will of God.
We have no formal creed but embrace the testimonies which Friends have
practiced since our beginnings over 350 years ago, namely: simplicity,
peace, integrity, community, equality, and stewardship of the earth.
Through
our committees,
broader Quaker
organizations, and interfaith
alliances , Annapolis
Friends Meeting acts locally and thinks globally on the great concerns
of our time such as: world peace, alternatives to violence, racial
justice, homelessness, LGBTQ rights, and protection of the environment.
