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

“It can be overwhelming to witness/experience/take in
All the injustices of the moment; the good news is that: they are all connected. So if your little corner of work involves pulling at one of the threads,
you're helping to unravel the whole damn cloth.” Ursula Wolfe-Rocca Submitted by Peace and Social Concerns Committee
