The SACRED Briish Library exhibition, see www.bl.uk/sacred, is coming to Sunderland Library in the near future. Sunderland Local Meeting is hoping to include some Quaker items. Further details when available.
The Religious Society of Friends, or Quakers, began in seventeenth century England as a reaction to aspects of the established Christian church.
We have no written creed, holding faith to be a matter for the individual, but we seek the truth within ourselves, and the good in everyone.
We make no distinction between clergy and laity, all being free to share in our silence-based worship, in ministry, in pastoral care and in contributing to the community.
Quakers are widely known for their commitment to peace and justice, and for their relief work.
