The Religious Society of Friends is a community of trust, based on shared faith, common values and mutual needs. Friends consider the meeting to be an extended family whose members depend on one another for spiritual sustenance, and occasionally for practical assistance. Community is manifest as they meet for worship and for business, as they work together, and as they share the milestones of birth, marriage and death.
