What Do Quakers Believe?
As Quakers (Friends), we practice a religious life which is direct, simple, and (we hope) in touch with the Holy Spirit.
โ
We believe:
-
God speaks to the hearts and minds of every person, in every walk of life.
-
Every moment and every occasion can be a time of special closeness with God.
-
We are called to tell the truth at all times, even when it is difficult to do so.
-
Jesus came to bring peace and justice to the world.
-
Worshiping together in spiritual unity is more important than agreeing to things on paper.
-
Our outward lives should line up with our inward feelings and convictions.
-
We welcome people from any and all backgrounds.
