Omaha Friends Meeting - Quaker

Omaha Friends Meeting - Quaker We are now a worship group. Meetings for Worship are with Lincoln Friends Meeting in person or on Zoom. Meetings in person twice a month in Omaha.

We welcome visitors. Please email Carol at csouthwickg (at gmail .dot com) to request details. We believe that there is "that of God" in every person. Every person can, to some degree, understand Divine Will and respond to it. Our worship is unprogrammed. We gather in expectant silence, inviting the living presence of God within us ("the Inner Light") and God outside us, to touch and to guide us.

We wait, without any human direction or supervision, each seeking an immediate sense of divine leading. "Christ was come to teach his people himself by his power and spirit in their hearts." - George Fox. Anyone who feels called by the Spirit to relay a spiritual message or prayer may do so. We do not have a creed. The Bible guides us and we believe that God helps reveal its meaning to us. We also seek Truth from other divinely inspired writings and from corporate experience of the Spirit. Our experience of the Divine changes us. Friends throughout our history have been led to serve God by working for peace, justice, and care of the environment.

"What would it look like if Friends revived the essential principles of seventeenth-century Quakerism? The contemporary religious environment and civil structures are quite different from those of the 1600s, but… these still support a social order that is in many ways diametrically opposed to the values that animated early Quakerism. Our calling as a people of God has not been fulfilled.

Three fundamental challenges remain that will shape the way a revived Society of Friends will look to the surrounding world:

-Do we put God at the center of everything we do?
-Do we model a radical faithful society that is in the world but not of the world?
-Do we form faithful communities that worship together in love, trust, patience, joy, and humility?

I believe that when we face up to these challenges, our lives and our communities will be marked by joy."

"Throughout the writings of early Friends runs one all-pervading, overpowering thought – that of the Light within. In every human heart, they tell us, there speaks the voice of God, and we have heard Him. The Light of Christ shines still for all men in the inmost of their souls, and in obedience to its influence lies hope… The Gospel of early Quakerism was a religion universal and real."

Citation: T. Edmund Harvey, 1905
Quaker museum curator, social reformer, and politician
