Quaker community celebrates 100 years of meeting in Detroit

Practicing Quakers have been in the Detroit area for more than 100 years. However, a century ago in 1926, The Detroit Friends Meeting was founded – that’s the formal name for Detroit’s Quakers.  Today, they have about 25 members.

While the group may be relatively few in number, they focus on having an outsized impact.

Peter Dale and Mike Kelly are member of Detroit Friends Meeting.  They stopped by The Metro to talk with Alex McLenon about the Quaker’s legacy in the city.

"The Metro" covers local and regional news and current affairs, arts and cultural events and topics, with a commitment to airing perspectives and uncovering stories underreported by mainstream media in Detroit.
