Quakers are different• Quakers don't require you to be a Quaker to worship with us at one of our meetings. Quaker meetings are open to all. |
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.

From ‘Advices and Queries’18. Rejoice in the presence of children and young people in your meeting and recognise the gifts they bring. Remember that the meeting as a whole shares a responsibility for every child in its care. Seek for them as for yourself a full development of God's gifts and the abundant life Jesus tells us can be ours. How do you share your deepest beliefs with them, while leaving them free to develop as the spirit of God may lead them? Do you invite them to share their insights with you? Are you ready both to learn from them and to accept your responsibilities towards them? _____________________________
