9 Core Quaker Beliefs by Arthur Larrabee
1. There is a living, dynamic spiritual presence (God) that is both within us and outside of us.
2. There is that of God (the divine) in everyone. All life is sacred and interconnected.
3. Each person can directly experience God without intermediaries.
4. Our understanding of God grows in community. Coming together brings diverse experiences of the divine.
5. The Bible is an important spiritual resource. The life and teachings of Jesus are relevant today.
6. God's revelation continues beyond the Bible. God reveals truth to people in all times.
7. Truth comes from many sources. Diverse spiritual truths enrich our experience.
8. Inward experience of God leads to outward expressions of faithful living, witness and action.
9. Modeling God's presence through our lives is more important than espousing beliefs. "Let your life speak."
