About

The Daily Quaker Message is an invitation to practice your own walk on the Quaker path. Daily Quaker emails have three parts: a short Quaker message to meditate on (often a quote, but sometimes a song, a poem, a piece of art, or a video), an exercise to try in your own life, and a query.

We curate Daily Quaker Messages from diverse sources: from different eras of history, and from people of different backgrounds and beliefs. One of the strengths of Quakerism is its ability to make room for the ministry of all Friends. We hope each message has a kernel that speaks to your condition.

  • The Difficulty of Naming the Divine
    by Rose Ketterer
    "I’ve yet to find a term that describes how I feel about the divine. ‘The Spirit’ comes close, and so, sometimes, does ‘Goddess’. ‘G-d/ess’ attempts to convey the difficulty of naming the divine.

I am now house hunting for retirement and this time will only go where there is a Friends community.”

Sets my compass for the day.

“I get up, come downstairs, feed the cat and look at the Daily Quaker Message. Then I make my breakfast and read it again and sit quietly and think about it. It sets my compass for the day. I am so grateful that you are doing this and making it available worldwide. It unites me with Friends everywhere thinking about the same thing on the same day.”

Helps focus my daily and Sunday worship.

“The Daily Quaker Message started the same time I discovered Quakerism and has proved a really useful aid to help me figure out how to incorporate Quakerism into my daily life. As a newcomer quakerism can seem quite daunting and hard to pin down. This tool is highly accessible, supportive and gives me useful points of focus for my daily and Sunday worship.”

Centering and personal

“It’s very meaningful to receive these daily messages in my inbox in a flood of otherwise stressful emails. I find these to be centering and personal, inviting me to connection with the divine and with a community.”
