Quakers Penners

The Borden Meeting of Conservative Friends, often known locally as Quakers Penners, has deep historical roots in the Borden area. Originally called the Halcyonia Meeting, the congregation was founded in the early 1900s by settlers who immigrated from the Fritchley area of England and established homesteads in the Thistledale district, approximately nine miles east of Borden.

In 1915, the group constructed a modest meeting house—one that continues to be used today—serving as a lasting symbol of faith, simplicity, and continuity across generations.

The Borden Meeting of Friends follows the original Quaker teachings and writings of George Fox and Robert Barclay, emphasizing quiet worship, personal reflection, integrity, and living one’s faith through everyday actions.
