Winchester Quaker Meeting House Appeal


Winchester Quakers are raising money for necessary renovations to their city centre eighteenth-century listed building, acquired as a Meeting House in 1973.

This appeal is made to maintain a well established and much appreciated Quaker presence in the community.

Full details and a donation form are here (pdf file).
The key common ground among the whole world family of Friends:
(1) the centrality of inward encounter with God and revelation, and forms of worship that allow this to be experienced

(2) a way of doing church business based on the idea of corporate direct guidance rather than voting

(3) the spiritual equality of everyone

(4) the preference for peace and pacifism rather than war, and the commitment to other forms of social witness
