But as I had forsaken all the priests, so I left the separate preachers also, and those called the most experienced people; for I saw there was none among them all that could speak to my condition. And when all my hopes in them and in all men were gone, so that I had nothing outwardly to help me, nor could tell what to do, then, oh then, I heard a voice which said, 'There is one, even Christ Jesus, that can speak to thy condition', and when I heard it my heart did leap for joy.
-- George Fox, 1647

What is the Quarterly Meeting?

Friendship graphic

The Religious Society of Friends is organized into Monthly, Quarterly and Yearly Meetings. The basic unit is the Monthly Meeting, the equivalent to the local congregation in most other churches. It is customary for Friends to worship every Sunday at a designated time. It is also the practice to hold business meetings once a month. Members of a Monthly Meeting are also members of the Quarterly meeting which meets for worship and business every three months, at the meetinghouse of one of the monthly meetings. Similarly, all members within a certain geographic region belong to a Yearly Meeting which meets for several days once a year. Abington Quarterly Meeting is composed of 10 Monthly Meetings: 7 in Montgomery County, 2 in Northern Philadelphia, and one meeting in Bucks County. Abington Quarterly Meeting is a member of Philadelphia Yearly Meeting.
