Brooklyn Friends Meetinghouse
Brooklyn Friends Meetinghouse is a Quaker church at 110 Schermerhorn Street in New York, NY 11201. It is one of 3,431 churches in New York, and one of 2 Quaker congregations in the city.
As Quakers, we gather in silence to seek the Inner Light. No minister leads us in worship, no formal prayers are said, no hymns are sung. We wait and listen for the holy spirit to speak in and through us. Both our silence and our spoken words bring us closer together and closer to the Light.

Brooklyn Friends Meetinghouse is part of the Friends (Quaker) family of churches in The American Church Story. 27 congregations of the Friends (Quaker) family gather across New York — 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.
