Biographical Note

Founded in England around 1650, the Religious Society of Friends (Quakers) are a religious group that emphasizes silent worship as a way to draw closer to God. They believe that each person is endowed with the Holy Spirit and can participate in self-led worship.

The Fayetteville Meeting began informally in the 1950s, meeting in the homes of members, and became more formally established in 1984 as a worship group under the Dallas Monthly Meeting; in 1981 the group became part of the Little Rock Monthly Meeting, and in 1997 the group became an independent monthly meeting. The Fayetteville Friends Meeting meets once a week to worship and once a month to conduct business affairs.
