What are Quakers? |
||
| 'Quaker'
is a popular name for a member of the Religious Society
of Friends. (Members are also known as 'Friends'.)
As Quakers we have no dogmas or creeds, believing that the
truth cannot be reduced to a form of words. Nor do we
have any one definition of God but we have the conviction
that each of us can have direct experience of the Spirit
of God and that our religious insights, attitudes and
practices should come together in a way of life. Read more about Quakerism today by clicking HERE |

| What happens in Meeting for Worship? | ||
| A Quaker Meeting is based on silence - an expectant silence of waiting - in which we seek to come nearer to each other and to God. Sometimes a Meeting will pass in total silence. The silence may be broken if someone feels compelled by the Spirit to speak, pray or read. The Meeting ends after about an hour with the shaking of hands. |
