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.”

You’re invited to an online lecture by Dr. Gary Greenberg, Founding Member of Environmental Communications.

On the occasion of the exhibition Environmental Communications: Big Bang Beat L.A. at the AD&A Museum, we are pleased to invite you to an online lecture by Dr. Gary Greenberg, a founding member of EC—a pioneering Los Angeles–based collective of artists, architects, and thinkers active from the late 1960s through the 1980s. The group’s experimental publications, photography, and performances helped redefine how architecture and the environment are perceived, documented, and discussed.

During his talk, Dr. Greenberg will explore:
• The creation of the EC collective of artists, architects, and thinkers.
• The production of the EC catalog as a vehicle for sharing the collective’s work and visionary ideas.
• The multimedia shows and performances the collective created to engage the public in new ways of seeing and experiencing the built environment.

Don’t miss this opportunity to hear from one of the original voices behind a movement that continues to inspire architects, artists, and cultural historians today.

This Craft Fair features all hand-made items. There will be over 20 vendors. There will be ceramics, animal sculptures, leather and wood turned crafts, hand-sewn items, crochet and knit items, jewelry, etc. Raffle tickets will be given all those attending for gifts donated by the crafters. There will be a Bake Sale also. This is a fundraiser for the Half-Century Club. A perfect opportunity to begin your Holiday Shopping.
