A typical Quaker meeting, often held in silence, involves participants gathering in a quiet space to reflect and listen for spiritual guidance. Attendees may sit in silence for a period, allowing anyone to speak if they feel moved to share a message or insight. The meeting emphasizes communal worship, personal reflection, and the belief that everyone has the potential to connect with the Divine. Discussions or announcements may occur after the silent portion, fostering a sense of community and mutual support.

What is unique about the quaker church?
There are Quaker Meetings and Quaker Churches. Quaker Meetings practise the original 17th century form of Quaker worship of the early Quakers which is based on silence. ( Each member of the gathering waits in silence and seeks to listen to the voice of God within. If he (or she) should feel that what he hears is to be shared with the gathered meeting, he stands and delivers the "ministry" as briefly as possible. The gathered meeting then resumes it's silence until such time as another member feels moved to speak.) These Meetings for Worship usually last an hour in this time and age. Quaker Meetings have no appointed pastors, each member, man of woman, is held equally responsible for worship and the life of the Meeting. The Meetings are held in a Meeting House. Quaker Churches, which grew up in America due to the influence of Protestant Churches, have an appointed pastor and, although Waiting upon God in silence is still an important aspect of worship, there will also be some programmed preaching, prayer and singing. ,
