Our Meeting is celebrating its 250th year as a worshiping community on the weekend of October 4 and 5.  

Saturday (October 4) will feature a Tribute to Quaker Activism, featuring the film “Citizen George” which presents the life and work of Philadelphia-based contemporary Quaker activist George Lakey, a nonviolent revolutionary who has worked his entire life for justice and peace, guided by his ideal of societal transformation, with community singing to open our time beginning at 6:30 PM.

Sunday (October 5), which is also World Quaker Day, will open with worship at our usual time of 10:25 AM and will also be available on Zoom. Our prepared message will be given by Doug Bennett, a member of Durham Friends and President Emeritus of Earlham College, a Quaker institution in Richmond, IN. This will be followed by a luncheon and celebration (and possibly more singing).

All are welcome to any and all of this celebration. Instructions for attending Sunday Worship via Zoom are available from our website durhamfriendsmeeting.org
