What are Friends Quakers?

Friends Quakers, commonly known as Quakers, are members of the Religious Society of Friends, a Christian movement that began in England in the 17th century. Quakers emphasize direct experience of God, simplicity, peace, integrity, community, and equality. They are known for their distinctive practices, including silent worship, decision-making by consensus, and strong commitments to social justice and nonviolence. Quakers have played significant roles in movements for abolition, women's rights, and humanitarian causes. Their meetings and beliefs may vary, but the focus on inner light and ethical living is central to Quaker identity.
