Committees
Committees offer a gratifying way to put Quaker principles and beliefs into practice. Committee work is conducted in the spirit of worship and service — fundamental traditions of Quakerism. Serving on a committee is a rewarding way to meet other Friends and Attenders and nurture new friendships.

Peace & Social Action
Quakers nurture a tradition of commitment to social justice and a concern for social and economic inequalities. The Peace and Social Action Committee (PSAC) organizes opportunities for education, dialogue, and action on these issues, helping our Meeting engage with the world and put our faith into action.
