Society of Friends or Quaker site, not governors

Welcome to the Society of Friends, also known as the Quaker Meeting House, located on Edward Street in the historic city of Newport, Rhode Island. Our site is a welcoming and peaceful place where individuals from all walks of life can gather for worship, reflection, and community.

Founded on the principles of simplicity, peace, integrity, community, equality, and stewardship, the Society of Friends offers a unique spiritual experience rooted in the Quaker tradition. Our meetings for worship are held in a serene and contemplative atmosphere, allowing participants to connect with the Divine in their own personal way.

Visitors to the Quaker Meeting House will find a warm and inclusive environment, free from dogma and open to all who seek a deeper understanding of themselves and the world around them. Whether you are a lifelong Quaker or simply curious about our practices, you are welcome to join us for our regular meetings or special events.

In addition to worship, our site hosts a variety of community activities and educational programs aimed at fostering understanding, promoting peace, and encouraging personal growth. We are committed to serving the Newport community and beyond, guided by our core values and a commitment to social justice.

Come visit us at the Society of Friends on Edward Street, and discover a place where you can find tranquility, inspiration, and a sense of belonging. We look forward to welcoming you into our community.
