Abington Quarter
 

What is Abington Quarter?

Norristown Meeting is one of the 9 Quaker meetings that make up Abington Quarter. The Monthly Meetings are primarily located in Montgomery County, with the exception of Richland (Bucks Co.) and Byberry (Northeast Philadelphia).  Surrounding Quarterly Meetings are Philadelphia Quarter, a Bucks Quarter, a Salem Quarter, a Caln Quarter and others.

Purpose of Quarterly Meeting:
"The Quarterly Meeting is designed to bring together a larger group of Friends for inspiration and counsel and to consider more varied interests than a Monthly or Preparative Meeting can undertake.  It is composed of constituent Monthly Meetings, each of which shall appoint representatives to attend it."
"... Its more helpful function should be to aid and encourage its constituent Monthly Meetings to greater interest and service and to give its members an increasing vision of Truth."  (Source: Faith and Practice of the Philadelphia Yearly Meeting)
