Come as you are! Sundays 10 am at the Victory Center, 3166 N Republic Blvd, Toledo, OH 43615

What should you wear to Quaker meeting?

Anything you feel comfortable in! Most Friends wear their "normal" clothes, whatever that means to them. Quakers value simplicity, which can mean clothing choices from plain dress (like the Friend in this photo), to clothing in solid colors, to thrifted clothing, to clothing made sustainably by people being paid a fair wage. And if you want to dress up a little with jewelry, makeup, and a spiffy outfit, there are Quakers who do that, too!

Don't overthink it; Quakers know it's what's on the inside that counts. 🙂

Friends in the comments, what do you wear to meeting?

EDIT: For those who have been wondering, this is a picture of Isabel Penraeth (AKA Quaker Jane at quakerjane.com). She followed a leading to dress plain, as in the picture, though she no longer does so. You can hear about her and other Friends' spiritual journeys with plain dress on our podcast: quakerpodcast.com/what-do-quakers-wear/
