- Quakers place great emphasis on the importance of daily life and experience rather than on particular religious occasions. Every day is regarded as sacred.
- We try to live simply, not losing sight of what is essential, and show loving consideration for nature and its creatures.
- The reverence for life leads us to recognise the dignity and worth of all people.
- There are times when we fall short!
We wish to emphasise that...
- ... we do not pressurize anyone to join us but leave people free to decide whether the Quaker way is really for them.
- With this in mind, if you would like to meet a Quaker to find out more about us and, perhaps, talk about your own spiritual journey then please contact us.
Historical Background
Quakers have been meeting in High Wycombe since 1654 but the first evidence of a Meeting House is in 1687 when an old barn was leased to them for that purpose
Quakers have been meeting in their present Meeting House since 1931 and their history in the High Wycombe area has been researched and traced through their 350 years in a fascinating and beautifully written book entitled 'Seekers and Finders' by Hugh and Joyce Mellor. Although written firstly with Quaker readers in mind the authors have aimed also to provide sufficient information about Quakerism itself to make the book intelligible and interesting to those who come fresh to the subject.
