Friends Journal is published by Friends Publishing Corporation. Our mission is to communicate Quaker experience in order to connect and deepen spiritual lives.

Friends Publishing Corporation was founded in 1955 “for the purpose of promoting religious concerns of the Religious Society of Friends and the education and information of its members and others by means of the written or spoken word, including the publication of a magazine or magazines, pamphlets or other writings.” 

Friends Journal, the major publication of Friends Publishing Corporation, is the consolidation of two previous Quaker publications and corporations, Friends Intelligencer (Hicksite) and The Friend (Orthodox), at the time of reunification of the two yearly meetings in Philadelphia.

  Viewpoint (aka Opinion): Short essays, sometimes topical and/or opinionated. They are typically 500-700 words but can be up to 1,000 if needed. They often appear online first, especially if the topic is more timely than the slow pace of print can allow. When we do publish them in the magazine, they appear alongside the Readers' Forum.
