8.1 Where can I find a local Quaker meeting
One of the best places to look is in your local telephone
directory; look for:
Localtown Fellowship of Friends
Localtown Friends Meeting/Church
Friends Fellowship of Localtown
Friends House
Friends Meeting/Church of Localtown
Friends, Religious Society of
Quaker Meeting of Localtown
Localtown Quaker Meeting
Religious Society of Friends
Society of Friends
(with local town names) in your local white pages, or in
the yellow pages under "Churches".
FGC now has http://www.quakerfinder.org/ to help people find
unprogrammed meetings in the U.S. and Canada. It includes not only
FGC-affiliated monthly meetings, but also those in Conservative and
Independent yearly meetings (I've heard some talk of extending it
even further but that's still just talk).
If you're really stuck, try contacting:
Chel Avery, Director

They probably have a meeting in your area on their
mailing list. They can also get you free introductory
issues of Friends Journal.
or in the UK, try first:

which has a postal-code search for local Meetings, or paper mail
or e-mail to:
Quaker Life
Friends House
Euston Road

Or drop a note to

Meeting, who can probably point you to a nearby
Monthly Meeting.
