More on Liberal Quakers

A phenomenon of the late 19th century, liberal Friends currently form about 20 percent of the global Quaker population. Meetings for worship among liberal Friends are unprogrammed and monthly meetings are generally permissive in terms of belief, tending to be liberal in their politics. [Adapted from the Historical Dictionary of Friends.]

There are 4 liberal meetings in the area. My meeting - Salmon Bay - located in the Phinney neighborhood. University Friends Meeting, South End Meeting and Eastside Meeting.You'd be welcome at any of them.

I can give you more contact information if you like.
