Save the date for World Quaker Day! The theme for World Quaker Day, Sunday, October 4, 2026, will be Let Peace Be Among Us.
In times when environmental crisis and conflict, untruths and unfairness seem to dominate, let us see what peace can do – both through our words and as ‘doers of the word’ (James 1:22). More information and ideas on how you can take part will be shared as the date approaches.
Worldwide Worship
We’re planning an extended Global Online Worship on the day, bringing together Friends across borders, languages and Quaker traditions with a shared focus on peace.
The worship will last for 8+ hours, reaching across many time zones from the Americas to Aotearoa/New Zealand. Each hour of worship will be dedicated to a part of the world where prayers for peace are particularly needed – you’re welcome to join for as little or as long as you’d like.
Here’s the planned schedule:
- 11:00 UTC – Prayers for the environment
- 12:00 UTC – Cuba (this hour will be in Spanish & English)
- 13:00 UTC – Great Lakes of Africa (this hour will be in French & English)
- 14:00 UTC – Eastern Europe
- 15:00 UTC – Middle East
- 16:00 UTC – Quaker United Nations Offices – New York and Geneva
