Quaker churches form a well-established strand of Christianity in the United Kingdom. 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.
The congregation shares in a long history of worship in England, whose landscape holds everything from Saxon churches to congregations meeting in converted warehouses. Birmingham is the county town of West Midlands and a focal point for church life in the area. First-time visitors and regular worshippers alike will find an open door.
