About Society Of Friends
The Society of Friends in Syracuse, New York is part of New York Yearly Meeting, a Quaker denomination with roots in seventeenth-century England. Quakers share a faith centered on the experience that every human being can commune with God directly, without intermediaries or required rituals. New York Yearly Meeting comprises roughly 3,200 members across 64 local meetings in New York State, northern New Jersey, and southwestern Connecticut. The denomination includes both unprogrammed meetings that worship in expectant silence and programmed meetings with pastors, hymns, prayers, and sermons, with some meetings blending both approaches. The Yearly Meeting gathers three times annually for business conducted as meetings for worship, along with fellowship, education, and spiritual community.
