Quakers share
a way of life rather
than a set of beliefs
Quakers share a way of life, rather than a set of beliefs. We seek to experience God directly, within ourselves and in our relationships with others and the world around us. These direct encounters with the divine (however defined) are where Quakers find meaning and purpose. Quaker faith is a search for truth, not an arrival.

‘Quaker Speak’
Most communities and organisations develop their own terminology and Quakers are no different in this – in fact some of the most loved expressions go back to the 17th Century when Quakers were persecuted by the state. If you find expressions that don’t seem clear do ask at your local meeting or follow this link to learn about Quaker terms centralenglandquakers.org.uk/about-quakers/quaker-terms/
