Camden Friends Meeting

About this church

Camden Friends Meeting in Camden, Delaware, gathers for Meeting for Worship on Sundays at 10:00 a.m. at the Meeting House on East Camden-Wyoming Avenue, with another gathering on Wednesdays at 4:30 p.m. (confirm times on the website). It is an unprogrammed Quaker meeting. People sit together in silence without clergy, and there is no set order of events and no sacraments. Anyone who feels prompted may speak or pray aloud, and the benches face one another. Worship lasts about an hour and ends with greetings or handshakes. Afterward, attenders are invited next door to the Gathering Place for coffee, tea, and refreshments. The meeting belongs to the Southern Quarter of Philadelphia Yearly Meeting and is affiliated with Friends General Conference.

For first-time visitors, the parking lot is beside the Meeting House, with more parking behind it. Ramps lead to both the Meeting House and the Gathering Place. Casual dress is common, and there are no assigned seats. Children sit with their families during worship, and the Gathering Place has restrooms and a children's area in the sunroom for anyone needing a break. The Lewes Worship Group, which is under the care of the meeting, gathers Sundays at 10:00 a.m. in the Quiet Room at The Moorings at Lewes. The Meeting House dates to 1805, and the grounds include an old burial ground that visitors are asked to respect. A small library on Quakerism is available, and community nonprofit groups may apply to use the buildings.
