What do Quakers believe?
Quakers believe that we all can have direct experience of God. In our Meetings
for Worship we meet with God in an un-programmed quiet time and in the vocal
contributions of others. Worship is part of our daily lives - we make no distinction
between the sacred and the secular as we try to live our convictions in the
every day.
Quakers have no set creed or dogma - that means we do not have any declared
statements which you have to believe to be a Quaker. There are, however, some
commonly held views which unite us. One accepted view is that there is that
of God (or the spirit or divine) in all people and that each human being is
of unique worth.
This shared belief leads Quakers to value all people regardless,
ignoring their gender, faith, sexual orientation or race, and to oppose anything
that harms or threatens them.
