Quakers share a way of life, not a set of beliefs. Quaker unity is based on shared understanding and a shared practice of silent worship - a communal stillness. Quakers seek to experience God directly - internally, in relationships with others, and with the world. Local meetings for worship are open to all who wish to attend. Quakers try to live with honesty and integrity. This means speaking truth to all, including people in positions of power. The Quaker commitment to peace arises from the conviction that love is at the heart of existence and that all human beings are unique and equal. This leads Quakers to put faith into action by working locally and globally to change the systems that cause injustice and violent conflict.
