Newtown Quaker Meeting will send greetings and love to people throughout the world on Oct. 3, in celebration of World Quaker Day as they gather virtually via Zoom for worship in Newtown.
There are approximately 400,000 Quakers worldwide in North, Central and South America, Europe, the UK, East Europe, Russia, Africa, Southeast Asia, the Far East, Australia and New Zealand.
The goal of World Quaker Day is for Quaker Meetings and organizations around the world to share something about Quakers with the public via some event — a talk of “Why I Am a Quaker,” or “My Spiritual Journey” by a member, the founding of their Quaker Meeting, or maybe “Things About Quakers You Didn’t Know.”
