OUR SHARED VISION
DEDICATED TO RADICAL PEACE AND ENDURING SOCIAL JUSTICE
Quakers are a non-fundamentalist group from the Christian tradition that seeks to witness to the Light within everyone. Our mission is rooted in the deep conviction that peace is not merely the absence of conflict but the presence of justice. We are a community dedicated to challenging military expansion and advocating for the non-violent resolution of global struggles.
OUR TESTIMONIES
The Quaker Testimonies
Quakers worship in silence centering down into the light within us all. Vocal ministry occurs when a worshipper feels prompted by the spirit. Some meetings will be completely silent, while others will be very vocal. Over time the themes of vocal worship have been consolidated to become Our Testimonies, which Quakers choose to guide their lives.

Equality
Recognizing equal worth in everyone and challenging systems of injustice and social exclusion.
Integrity
