Each of the ten local Meetings of Burlington Quarter warmly welcomes visitors. . While we worship in wonderfully preserved historic Meetinghouses and other buildings, these are not "don't touch" museums. Indeed, our congregations are dynamic and very much a part of the modern world. See the individual Meeting's web sites above for time of Meetings, detailed directions to locate the Meetinghouses, and contact persons to call or email for more information
Individual Friends Meetings in Burlington Quarter hold worship services, called Meetings for Worship, usually on Sunday Mornings. Additional Meetings for Worship may also be held at other times during the week All Quaker services are open to visitors who will find a cordial welcome. Business Meetings are held by local congregations once a month, so that our local Meetings are called "Monthly Meetings" for when we conduct our business. Quaker Meetings in a region meet together four times each year, or Quarterly, hence our name "Burlington Quarterly Meeting." There are thirteen Quarters, comprising 110 local congrgations, in the greater Philadelphia area. We all meet together annually for business and worship in Philadelphia Yearly Meeting in session.
