We believe that within each person is a special power. Some call this power God, some the Holy Spirit; many Friends call it the Inner Light. We believe that everyone can experience this Light and that it can be the foundation for convictions and actions.

Quakers have maintained a home in Brooklyn since the 1830s. Currently, we worship in our 1857 Meeting House in Brooklyn Heights, as well as online via Zoom.
