Welcome
Welcome to Multnomah Friends, a spiritual home for Quakers in Portland.
As members of the Religious Society of Friends, we gather in silent waiting. In the stillness, we listen for that “still small voice” that reveals the wisdom within each of us. This individual quest is nurtured in our collective worship, where we aim to create a safe space for all Friends to freely commune with the Divine.
Multnomah Friends has an active youth program from newborn through high school supporting our children’s self-discovery with stories, songs, crafts, discussions, and companionship.

Our Meeting
Last spring, Jon Watts from Thee Quaker Project spent a weekend with us interviewing and filming for a video introduction to Multnomah Meeting. All that footage is now seven-minute video featuring some familiar faces. He hopes to make other videos for other Meetings, but we and Downingtown Meeting in Pennsylvania are the pilot projects. We will be the first to go live on their YouTube channel on Friday, October 25

Please plan to come and add your presence to this peace event which our meeting co-sponsors with Oregon Physicians for Social Responsibility, Veterans for Peace, and the Japanese-American Museum of Oregon. This year’s event is being dedicated to Carol Reilly Urner, beloved member of Multnomah Friends Meeting, long-time Quaker, and internationally-known peace activist, who passed away at the age of 93. Carol was instrumental in organizing the early Hiroshima – Nagasaki memorials in the 60’s and through the 2010’s. It will be Tuesday, August 6th from 6-7:30 pm at the Japanese American Historical Plaza at the Portland waterfront near NW Couch Street.
