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, home to the Church of England alongside thriving Catholic, Methodist, Baptist and independent churches. Street lies within Somerset, whose county town is Taunton. The church forms part of the wider Quaker presence across Somerset.
Thinking of coming along? Simply turn up: no invitation is needed. Allow a little extra time for getting there, as parking close to older church buildings can be tight, and if accessibility is a concern, a quick call ahead will confirm arrangements such as ramps, accessible toilets or a hearing loop.
