We suspect that many of you, reading this page, actually hold Quaker values.
Without ever having identified as a Quaker!
Consider these questions.
Do you believe…
- All people are equal?
- War, poverty and prejudice are wrong?
- All people can have a personal experience of the divine nature of the universe. (Feel free to choose the words that resonate for you e.g. Spirit, Inner Light, God, Holy Spirit)
- People should LIVE their values, instead of just talking about them?
- We should create a more just society?
- Every human being contains a spark of (what some people call) God?
Do you…
- Find silent contemplation helpful? (Feel free to substitute other words here: meditation, prayer, reflection, thinking, pondering…)
- Want to be part of a community where all voices are heard and valued?
If you answered Yes to some/all of these questions, then you may be a quaker already—without knowing it!
