Members and attenders at Albany Friends Meeting reflect a range of religious and spiritual backgrounds and experiences. Some are former members of other religions or other Christian denominations. Some have had no religious upbringing. Others have previously experienced religious alienation. Consequently we have diversity of religious thinking within our Meeting.
