The Religious Society of Friends reviews
Meeting for Worship (10:30am Sundays) is very peaceful & rewarding. Followed (11:45am) by a shared "Lunch" where you can socialise and talk with other members while having a nice cup of freshly brewed tea and a homemade snack. This is a favourite meeting location for overseas Friends & visitors when in Sydney.
The weekly Quakers meeting in Sydney is quite small, which, like other Quakers meetings in Australia, follows the unprogrammed worship tradition - that is, an hour of silent devotion. No hymns, no sermons. To those who like Christian meditation I highly recommend it; other people will find it excruciatingly boring.
