About Abington Friends Meeting
Abington Friends Meeting is a Quaker congregation in Jenkintown, Pennsylvania, welcoming all seekers regardless of faith background, spiritual journey, age, race, ethnicity, sexual orientation, or gender identity. The meeting gathers for worship rooted in silent contemplation and the belief that divine truth speaks to each person through an inner light or spirit. Worship typically begins in silence, and members speak only when moved by the spirit to share brief, heartfelt messages; afterward, the community shares joys, sorrows, and prayer requests, concluding with handshakes and fellowship. The meeting serves families with programming for children and youth during the academic year, maintains adult education classes, and offers multiple worship opportunities including midweek meetings, outdoor summer worship, and singing gatherings. Guided by the Quaker testimonies of simplicity, peace, integrity, community, equality, and stewardship, Abington Friends Meeting invites visitors to experience a spiritual community dedicated to listening together for divine guidance.
