Friends Journal is a monthly Quaker magazine that combines first-person narrative, reportage, poetry, and news. It is an independent publication of Friends Publishing Corporation based in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Friends Journal was founded in 1955 as a consolidation of two previous publications, The Friend (Orthodox, founded 1827) and The Friends Intelligencer (Hicksite, founded 1844).[1] Originally published weekly and then bi-weekly, it became a monthly periodical in 1988.[2]

The mission of Friends Journal is "to communicate Quaker experience in order to connect and deepen spiritual lives." [3] The magazine is a founding member of Quakers Uniting in Publications. [4]
