Quaker Values

Printer-friendly version

In the Religious Society of Friends, the word "testimony" is used to refer to the ways in which Friends testify or bear witness to their beliefs in their everyday lives. In this context, "testimony" refers not to the underlying belief, but the committed action which arises out of our beliefs, and testifies to our beliefs. Commonly Friends are said to testify to simplicity, peace, integrity, community, equality, and stewardship.

If you are interested in learning more about the our values, history, and customs, a very good place to start is the Baltimore Yearly Meeting Faith & Practice.
