Quakers are different

• Quakers appreciate that there is a great diversity of understandings about God. Some Quakers have a conception of God which is similar to that of orthodox Christians, and would use similar language. Others are happy to use God-centred language, but would conceive of God in very different terms to the traditional Christian trinity. Some describe themselves as agnostics, or humanists, or non-theists and describe their experiences without using the word God entirely.

Welcome!

Welcome to the web home of the Religious Society of Friends (Quakers) in Belgium and Luxembourg.

Since the 1650s, Quakers have witnessed to their belief that true religion is a personal inward experience, a direct link with God and a consequent transformation of everyday life.

We know that there is ‘that of God’ in everyone.

While many Quakers would still see themselves as essentially Christian, others would say that they look for the truth in many different religious traditions, or none.

Our diversity is gathered in the stillness of our silent Meeting for Worship.
