What is Quaker Community (QuaC)?

QuaC is Haverford's Quaker student group (although we welcome Bryn Mawr members with open arms). It is a re-structured version of QuAAC, the old Quaker Actions and Activities Committee and has been, and continues to be open to all students, regardless of religous or spiritual affiliation. About half of regular attendees at QuaC events identify as Quaker, and the other half are people with an interest in Quakerism.

Mission Statement:

The mission of “QuaC” is to support interest in Quakerism, coordinate Quaker activities, and nurture Quaker community. We seek to create an environment that is welcoming to Quakers and non-Quakers alike and that values participation at all levels. We aim to nurture each other and, as a spiritual community, we will answer one another’s calls for support. We strive to encourage the formation of a deeper Quaker community on campus, while maintaining present activities and allowing for the development of new endeavors. We will promote fellowship, communication, community building, service, and representations of faith among Quakers on campus.

Our Structure:

We will have a business meeting once a month that will serve as a space for communication between members, and to facilitate interaction between committees. A team of clerks will support the group in realizing its mission by distributing responsibility and centralizing information.

Regular Events:

- Weekly Sunday worship:

Weekly student-run silent worship is held in the Quaker House common room at 12 pm on Sunday afternoon. Join us for worship or fellowship afterward!

- Semi-weekly potlucks:

In the past we held potlucks every-other Thursday night. Regular potlucks have fallen off recently but we may revitalize this event if there is interest.

QuaC is a part of the process of recasting the goals and visions of Quaker student community and activities on campus. This webpage was created in an effort to organize said process.
