About Quakers

Although Quakers have been around since the 1650s, our faith is modern and contemporary in its approach.


The Quaker way has its roots in Christianity and finds inspiration in the Bible and the life and teachings of Jesus. Quakers also find meaning and value in the teachings of other faiths; we acknowledge that ours is not the only way.

Our focus is on our experience rather than written statements of belief. Our sense of community does not depend on professing identical beliefs, but from worshipping, sharing and working together.

For more information, please go to Quaker beliefs, Quaker faith in action, Quakers and peace, or view our short film produced by Quakers in Watford.
