Members of the faculty and students of Haverford College have been meeting together regularly in this house since then. The meetinghouse was enlarged in 1894 and the Sunday School wing was added in 1904. We welcome you to our Meeting for Worship. We feel that worship, at its best, can bring direct communion with God, free of any prearranged form. We find that this individual experience of worship is deepened when it is shared with others.
Worship is based on expectant waiting for guidance from the divine source within.
From this, we may return to our daily lives reaffirmed in our sense of direction and strengthened by the love and power of God. Friends believe that inward, shared worship leads to deeper spiritual insight and makes conscience more sensitive to truth. Moral truth, and the power to act on that truth, arise from the Inward Light which itself comes from God. It is a source of grace and illumination, leading our many diversities toward harmony, not only within the worshipping group, but in our relations with everyone around us. Quaker testimonies on peace, social and racial equality, and religious liberty express this fundamental belief in the power and authority of the Inward Light in human affairs.
