New Haven Friends Meeting is part of the Friends (Quaker) family of churches in The American Church Story. 6 congregations of the Friends (Quaker) family gather across Connecticut — 535 across the United States on The Church Map.

Friends were ahead of the whole church on abolition, on prison reform, and on the ministry of women, and they were ahead at real cost. Their practice of waiting on God together in silence is what the rest of the body borrows when words have run out.

The community around New Haven Friends Meeting

Within a few blocks of these doors, more than 4 in 10 renting households pay over half of everything they earn just to keep a roof over them. Nearly a quarter of households aren't sure there will be enough to eat, and more than a third of adults live with obesity. That is 2,100 neighbors — and some of them are already in these pews.

Pray for the families one rent increase away from moving, and for this church to know their names.
