Ditchling Quakers

We can be called religious liberals.

Religious because we celebrate and affirm values that embrace and reflect a greater reality than self.

Liberal because we claim no exclusive revelations or status for ourselves, and because we offer respect and toleration to those who follow different paths of faith.

Quakers follow a basic christianity (whilst not necessarily being Christians), without affirming creeds as in other churches but places emphasis on the   fundamental belief of the 'light within' or otherwise described as that of God in everyone.

We have no conflict with scientific explanations and in the 20th century Quakers have moved away from evangelicalism to what is sometimes termed liberal theology.

Whatever our beliefs we all meet in unity & silence in our Meeting House in Ditchling.
