Quakers In Australia: Beliefs

Quakers have never had a creed that sets out what to believe. We are each different, our different life experiences and spiritual experiences mean that belief (our understanding of how the world works) is different and needs to evolve with us.

Quakers talk about what we each believe but not with a drive to bring each other into alignment. We accept the diversity that necessarily results amongst us. Discussion brings new questions, new ideas, new understandings. Quaker belief is more a set of questions and challenges, than a set of well-formulated answers. The answers are individual, as are the questions. We seek in company with each other, and recognise the importance of doing life's journey in community with each other. Quakers tend to get on with what they see needing to be done towards making the world a better place, even if they have not worked out the theory.
