We aim that worship should be part of our daily lives. We make no distinction between the sacred and the secular as we try to live our convictions in the every day.
A Meeting for Business is also held in the context of worship in which we seek the will of God which may not be the will of any individual present. We accept all contributions to our work, with tenderness. We seek to find and express the "right ordering" of our affairs beyond our own personal views.
Quaker Approaches to Religious Life

This is an anthology of Quaker writing and the most authoritative guide to Quakerism today in Britain. The first chapter is available separately as a small booklet ; "Advices and Queries" which seeks to provide a simple guide to our religious life
EXPLORE "QUAKER FAITH AND PRACTICE"
AN EXPOSITION OF QUAKER FAITH THROUGHOUT THE CENTURIES
The book does not replace The Bible, or any other religious writing which may bring us closer to God.
