Everyone is welcome to come to a Quaker Meeting. We do not have required beliefs, but let everyone grow in their spiritual experience. We sit in shared silence from which our words and inspirations arise. What you bring, whatever your past, it is a unique gift and is special. We are all seekers on the path of spiritual growth. We all learn from the life experience and spiritual insights of others. What might you discover? What might the discipline of silent communion bring?

Our radical tradition is based on the unique practice of communal silent waiting which is similar to meditation, with many of the same benefits, but which is a spiritual pathway of finding that deep calm centre into which the inner light can shine, transforming our lives and guiding what we do.

Some Quakers are deeply Christian, but others are non-theist, universalist, humanist, or from other faith backgrounds.

• … Spiritual learning continues throughout life, and often in unexpected ways. There is inspiration to be found all around us, in the natural world, in the sciences and arts, in our work and friendships, in our sorrows as well as in our joys. Are you open to new light, from whatever source it may come? Do you approach new ideas with discernment? (Advices & Queries 7)

Quakers have no hierarchy, priests, ministers or executives. Instead, Friends are invited to fill roles in Meetings, usually for three years at a time, as service to the Quaker community and beyond. Quakers never vote but come together to discern the way forward and to guide our role holders.

South Wales Area Meeting brings together thirteen local Quaker Meetings and two smaller groups across South Wales. It supports the community of Friends who gather locally, regionally and online for spiritual enrichment. Area Meeting also conducts many of the business affairs of this wider Quaker community.
