Quakers and giving
Post Body

I know that Quakers were against tithing, especially in the early years, as some of the money went to the parish church(I believe).

What is the take on this today? I love the fact that there is not much talk of tithing to the meeting. But I would assume some money is needed for the meeting building (if there is one) and other needs.

Comments

I'm my experience, when you attend the Quakers business meeting (which is typically a separate meeting and monthly) the meeting will go over their financial status and income and expenditure. One elder sent me the Quaker meeting bank details should I ever want to make a donation towards costs, which I do, but I'm very grateful I'm not pressured into doing so. If you and for the meetings bank details I'm sure they would happily share with you.
