West Knoxville Friends Meeting (West Knoxville Monthly Meeting of the Religious Society of Friends)

Changes:

• Name:West Knoxville Friends Meeting (West Knoxville Monthly Meeting of the Religious Society of Friends)
• Website URL:https://wkfm.org
• Summary:The meeting offers unprogrammed, expectant silent worship led without a pastor and emphasizes Quaker testimonies of Simplicity, Peace, Integrity, Community, and Equality. Children are welcomed with a First Day School during worship and regular family-friendly events—potlucks, “Fun & Fellowship” with music, snacks, and children’s play—and periodic “Quakerism 101” introductions for newcomers. Business is handled collectively at a Monthly Meeting for Business (typically the first Sunday at midday) using a “sense of the Meeting” rather than voting, and many gatherings include a virtual/Zoom option with calendar subscription (.ics/webcal) available. The Meeting has met in Knoxville since the 1950s (in the current Meeting House since the early 1960s), maintains a meeting library and links to Quaker media, and can be reached at the West Knoxville Friends Meeting House, 1517 Meeting House Road, Knoxville, TN 37931 (phone 865-694-0036).
