Santa Barbara Friends Meeting Invites Community to Celebrate World Quaker Day

Santa Barbara, CA — September 22, 2025 — Santa Barbara Friends Meeting (Quakers) welcomes the community to join them in celebrating World Quaker Day on Sunday, October 5, 2025, at 10:00 a.m. at the Friends Meetinghouse, 2012 Chapala Street, Santa Barbara.
World Quaker Day is an annual event when Quakers around the globe open their doors to neighbors and friends. Quaker worship is simple: a gathering in silence, with no clergy or ritual, where anyone may speak if moved by the Spirit.
Quakers believe there is “that of God” in every person and seek to live out values of peace, equality, integrity, simplicity, community, and care for the earth.
There are about 400,000 Quakers worldwide, including 75,000 in the United States. The Santa Barbara Meeting is a small group that gather weekly for worship and fellowship.
“All are welcome,” said a member of the Meeting. “You don’t need to be a Quaker to attend—just bring yourself and a willingness to share in a time of peace and reflection.”
