Multnomah Friends Meeting - Quakers

Sign up to lobby for Oregon Senate Bill 681, which will allow the Oregon State Treasury to “press pause” on private fossil-fuel funds. This legislation is supported by Ecumenical Ministries of Oregon (EMO), to which our Meeting belongs, and Oregon for Human Rights (O4HR). In addition to supporting this important bill, you will gain valuable experience for how to lobby at the Oregon legislature.

We welcome you to worship with us. Quaker life and practice is grounded in the conviction that the Divine Spirit is accessible to all. In worship we sit in stillness, opening ourselves to that Spirit. Quakers, in our wide diversity and experience, individually refer to this Spirit in varying ways, including “God,” “The Light,” “The Inward Christ,” and others. These vary, but our purpose is the same. Gathered in worship, we open ourselves to experience spiritual truth.

Our Meetinghouse occupies homelands belonging since time immemorial to the Chinook-speaking peoples of Multnomah, Clackamas, Cascade/Watlala, and the Kalapuya of Tualatin. Throughout Oregon, land was stolen from tribes through the use of treaties and land grants. In 1850, the land on which the Meetinghouse sits became part of such a land grant. We understand it is incumbent on us to lean into this uncomfortable fact and consider its implications for the Meeting.

“Remember [that] it is a still voice that speaks to us in this day, and that it is not to be heard in the noises and hurries of the mind.” -William Penn, 1691.
