Quakers and The Bible

In Britain, most Friends regard the Bible as by far the greatest printed source of inspiration, but not the only one. They read it along with all the other books, old and new, which can guide us in life.

Quakers and Christian belief

Quakers don’t spend much time discussing theological ideas like “Was Jesus the Son of God?” The important thing is to learn from Jesus’ teaching and way of life – and get on with putting it into practice.

Quaker beliefs and attitudes

Quakers have many beliefs and attitudes in common, but you can’t list them in a formula, or use them as a test of membership. Friends like to talk of an “inward light” within every human being. Some would call this “conscience” or “moral sense”, but Friends feel it is something more: part of spiritual and religious experience, which gives you a sense of direction in your search for the right way to live.
