The Meeting House building at Priory Park in Chichester is open on a Sunday morning for Meeting for Worship.
Quakers are inviting the people of Chichester to join them for a special Pause For Peace Day. Amid conflict across the world, particularly in Gaza, Ukraine and Sudan, Chichester Quakers are aiming to cease normal activities for a day to remember those dying and suffering in war.
The Pause for Peace Day is to be held on Sunday October 4 and all are welcome to join some or all of the day. It will include:
● 12.30pm A short silent vigil at Chichester Cross to think of those caught up in war.
● 1pm A walk along North Street towards the house of on of one of first Chichester Quakers, Margery Wilkinson for a talk on her remarkable life
● 2pm Refreshments followed by a discussion at Friends Meeting House about the Quaker Peace Testimony and the meaning of Quaker silence.
● 3pm to 4pm An invitation to join us for a global live link up with Quakers all over the world for a global prayer for peace.

Truth, Equality, Simplicity, Peace and Sustainability are important to the way Quakers live. ‘We experience God or The Light directly within ourselves, in our relationships with others and the world around us’.
Come to a Meeting. All are welcome to our Meeting House; including those of all faiths or none, those from ethnic minority backgrounds, and gender diverse people. We want to be accessible and welcoming to all.
