http://www.quaker.orgFriends Beliefs:
Friends express faith through actions and Testimonies, such as our Peace Testimony. For what use is love or faith if it does not have practical expression? Our beliefs are rooted in our discernment and biblical teachings such as:
"Our principle is, and our Practice have always been, to seek peace and ensue it and to follow after righteousness and the knowledge of God, seeking the good and welfare and doing that which tends to the peace of all." Friends Peace Testimony, 1660
"love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your mind.... love your neighbour as yourself. On these two commandments depend all the law and the prophets." Matthew 22.37-40
"there is neither Jew nor Gentile, neither slave nor free, neither male nor female, for all of you are one" Galatians 3.28-29
"Where any have received offence from any other, first to speak privately to the party concerned, and endeavour reconcilliation between themselves; and not to whisper or aggravate matters against them behind their backs, to the making parties, and the breach wider." London Yearly Meeting, 1692
"And all Friends take heed of jars and strife, for that is it, which will eat out the Seed in you; therefore let not that harbour in your bosoms, lest it eat out the good in you, and ye come to suffer in your own particulars. Therefore dwell in love and life, and in the Power and Seed of God, which is the honourable, royal state." George Fox, 1656
