Liberal Quakerism

Liberal Quakerism is a branch of the Religious Society of Friends that emphasizes individual spiritual experience, personal conscience, and a belief in the inner light—the idea that each person can find divine guidance within themselves. It values simplicity, social justice, peace, and equality, often focusing on personal reflection, consensus decision-making, and activism. Unlike more traditional or conservative Quaker groups, Liberal Quakers are open to a variety of beliefs and practices, and they prioritize inclusive, non-dogmatic spirituality that encourages ongoing spiritual growth and ethical living.
