Welcome!
Welcome to QuakerBlogs.org – a free blog hosting service for Quakers, & also the membership & blogging side of the Online Meeting for Worship! You can create your own blog on the registration page. As well as standard membership profile information, Facebook-style social networking features such as ‘Friending’, direct messaging, and subgroups are also supported.
Most Quaker meetings for worship take place in a specific building (the meeting house) regularly on a specific day & time, usually sunday morning & sometimes wednesday or thursday lunchtime or evening.
However, this doesn’t always work for everybody – for some people, there isn’t a meeting nearby to where they live (or even in the same country !), & for others they would like to be able to worship with different people at different times to their ‘home’ community in order to gain different insights from other parts of the Quaker world.
The Online Meeting for Worship is for these people, & for anybody else who wants to play with the idea of using the internet in order to experiment with ways of quaker worship. Originally created in 2002, over the years it has gone through a number of coding revisions, & evolved into its own true worshipping and supportive community.
As well as a general hosting service for Quakers (& friends of Quakers) who wish to have their own blog, QuakerBlogs.org is now set to take on the membership side of the Online Meeting for Worship; we hope new bloggers will join the worshipping community.
