Quakers, formally known as the Religious Society of Friends, originated in 17th-century England under the leadership of George Fox.In response to the religious dynamics of the time, Quakerism emerged with a distinctive emphasis on direct communion with God, rejecting traditional rituals and hierarchical worship structures.
Central to Quaker beliefs is the concept of the "Inner Light", symbolizing the divine presence within each individual. Quaker worship is characterized by silent meetings, where adherents gather in communal silence and only speak when prompted by the Inner Light.
Historically, Quakers have been known for their commitment to peace, equality, and social justice. Active participants in movements such as the abolition of slavery and the advancement of women's rights, Quaker values reflect principles of simplicity, integrity, community, and equality.
The Religious Society of Friends has witnessed diverse interpretations and developments over time, resulting in various branches within the Quaker community. Despite these differences, a shared dedication to simplicity, peace, and social responsibility continues to characterize the essence of Quakerism.
