Dayton Friends Meeting is a loving, inclusive community of Quakers who gather together in silent worship. We believe that there is “that of God,” the Light or Seed of the divine, in each person. That Light grows as we attend to God’s presence and nurture one another, leading us to live with greater integrity and witness to the possibility of peace and justice in the world. Although we believe that revelation is ongoing and vary in the names we call the Divine, we look to the life of Jesus for inspiration and guidance. We welcome all who are looking for a caring community of seekers.
