Hammersmith Business Meeting

These happen every two months and are an excellent way of helping people understand the Quaker business method.  People can attend in person or on line (on request).  These meetings happen at 12.30 after Meeting

We have Business Meeting every two months.  It is where we discuss the running of the Meeting House and our finances.  

We use the Quaker business method.  The Quaker business method is an unique process for decision-making used by the Religious Society of Friends (Quakers).

It focuses on seeking unity and discernment rather than relying on votes or majority rule. The method emphasizes listening, sharing perspectives, and seeking guidance from a higher power or the "Inward Light".  

The key principles
1.  Seek Unity: The goal is to find a decision that everyone can agree to and accept, even if they don't fully agree with it.  
2.  Discernment: - Decision-making is approached as a process of seeking guidance and understanding, rather than a debate or a negotiation.  
3. Silence: Meetings often begin with a period of silence for contemplation and worship.  
No Voting:  Quakers do not use formal votes, as they believe it can create divisions and undermine the process of seeking unity.

Joint London Area Meetings (JLAMs)

Venue: Friends House

Morning worship joined by meetings on zoom.
Blended business meeting in afternoon.
Parallel meeting for children and young people.

We have planned for six (J)LAM in 2026. All will have parallel meetings for children and young people. All will be blended though on a couple of occasions we will be experimenting with tech and all may not be perfect.
Three of the meetings will be held on Sundays in The Light at Friends House so we know that tech will be excellent, and there will be space for 1,000 Friends if everyone wants to come. These meetings will have worship in the morning joined by LMs across London on zoom.

Our (J)LAMfWfB will take place in the afternoon blended.
The other three (J)LAM will take place in three different London meeting houses (Wandsworth, Westminster and Wanstead), and online. They will be all-day events with learning in the morning and business in the afternoon. These meeting houses can each hold well over 100, but there will be a limit on numbers in person. We could accommodate far more if we held all (J)LAM in The Light at Friends House or at St. John’s Waterloo, but we thought we should experiment with moving around in this first year.

ALL ARE WELCOME  

We sit in silence but not in isolation. Just compose yourself and give yourself time to be at one with the meeting.  

Sometimes people are called to share out loud, we call this ministry.  Anyone can speak. We always give time to consider what has been said before anyone else might minister.

It is rare that more than one to three people speak, in fact, many meetings for worship at Hammersmith remain silent for the entire hour.

The meeting ends when an elder shakes hands with the person next to them.

After meeting we would love it if you stayed for a coffee or tea. For an organisation who worship in silence Quakers love to talk.

Mend

Venue: Hammersmith Meeting House

This is part of our sustainability initiatives and helps avoid fabrics going to landfill.  People bring an item of fabric or wool they would like mend and receive advice.

Conversations could be about mending the world, Quaker values, or general advice.
