Quakerism: A Mystical Church

4 August 2025

This session suggests that the unique feature of the Quaker way is its total reliance on mystical experience. The session will provide an overview of how this central feature has fared over the centuries and how we can reinvigorate this heritage today.

Disregarding all the features that other Christians have seen as essential to helping humanity remain faithful to the divine, Quakerism was established purely on the basis of direct spiritual experience. Come and explore what this vision meant for the relationship between first-generation Friends and other churches, and what it means for us as Quakers today.
