The Quaker Peace Testimony

The Quaker Peace Testimony is a core belief among Quakers emphasizing nonviolence and opposition to war. Rooted in their faith’s emphasis on the divine presence in every person, it encourages members to seek peaceful solutions to conflicts, reject violence, and promote justice through understanding and compassion. Quakers historically advocate for diplomacy, disarmament, and human rights, viewing peace as both a personal and societal responsibility. This testimony guides their actions, inspiring them to work towards a more just and peaceful world, consistent with their commitment to the inner light within all individuals.
