British Quakers

British Quakers, also known as the Religious Society of Friends, are a Christian movement that emphasizes inner guidance, peacefulness, and social justice. Originating in the 17th century, they believe in direct personal experience of God without clergy or formal rituals. Worship often involves silent reflection, waiting for divine inspiration. Quakers have historically been active in humanitarian efforts, promoting equality, anti-slavery, and anti-war causes. They value simplicity, integrity, and community, shaping their practices and social activism while maintaining a diverse range of beliefs within the movement.
