Quaker Testimonies
Over the approximately 375 years that the Religious Society of Friends has existed, a series of principles have grown out of our inward experience of being led by Spirit. These have come to be called testimonies which guide us in how we are in the world.
Simplicity
Friends have sought the essential, knowing that an excess of anything can divide people from each other and from a spiritual life. A simple life is one that allows us to focus on what is truly important – opening to the guidance of Spirit and honoring the Light in others.
Peace & Nonviolence
We’re probably most known for our commitment to Peace. Quakers take an active approach to Peacemaking through nonviolence training, conflict resolution practices, and work on national legislation.
Integrity
As Quakers we seek to maintain moral and ethical principles. In order to truly hear and follow the leadings of Spirit, we must be willing to hear and act on the truth. Truth telling and staying in alighnment with our word is key to spiritual growth.
Community
We value community. It is the foundation and the manifiestation of our pastoral care. Our doors are open to all and we welcome visitors who come once to worship, attend an event or stop by now and then.
Equality and Social Justice
Quakers have believed in equality for centuries and are known for social justice work. Early Quakers were Suffragists and Abolitionists. Quakers today are committed to ending racism and sexism, climate justice and immigration reform.
Sustainability
We respect the planet and all its inhabitants. The ways Friends have approached life in general for many centuries has been a respectful and inclusive way of living. We see ourselves as connected to the earth and we extend respect to all humans, creatures and life-sustaining elements of the earth.
