About Quakerism:

  • Quakers believe that there is something of God in everybody and that each human being is of unique worth. This is why Quakers try to value all people equally.

  • Quakers seek religious truth in inner experience, and place great reliance on conscience as the basis of morality.

  • Quakers emphasise direct experience of God rather than ritual and ceremony. They believe that priests and rituals are an unnecessary obstruction between the believer and God.

  • Quakers integrate religion and everyday life. They believe God can be found in the middle of everyday life and human relationships, as much as during a meeting for worship.
