Who are the Quakers?
Since the 1650s, Quakers have witnessed to their belief that true religion is a personal inward experience, a direct link with God and a consequent transformation of everyday life.
We know that there is ‘that of God’ in everyone.
While many Quakers would still see themselves as essentially Christian, others would say that they look for the truth in many different religious traditions, or none.
Our diversity is gathered in the stillness of our silent Meeting for Worship.
