Quakers (the Religious Society of Friends) originated in the mid-seventeenth century in England, as a non-conforming Protestant sect. The founder, George Fox, believed that there is "that of God" in every person, and anyone can communicate with God without the intermediation of an authorized priest or minister. The Quakers have no creed or dogma and, although it began as a Christian sect (and most Quakers are Christians), we welcome anyone to become a member.

The Quakers at Brown hold a mid-week Meeting for Worship in Page-Robinson Hall, with some social time before or after. Anyone is invited to attend, and we have mostly students, but also faculty and staff as well as members of the community.
