Quaker congregations represent one enduring branch of the Christian faith in these islands. Quakers, formally the Religious Society of Friends, began in seventeenth-century England through the preaching of George Fox. British Quaker worship is mostly unprogrammed: Friends gather in silence and speak only when moved to do so. Britain Yearly Meeting has around 450 local meetings and roughly 20,000 members and regular attenders. The tradition traces its modern form to the 17th century. As a measure of its reach, the wider family today counts roughly 20,000 members and attenders in Britain.
It belongs to the broad community of churches across England, where the parish system has shaped local life for more than a thousand years. St Helens lies within Merseyside, whose county town is Liverpool. First-time visitors and regular worshippers alike will find an open door.
