Welcome

Quakerism is a religion with Christian roots, whose worship is based on silence and listening to the spirit. Quakers practise truth, equality and simplicity and pursue paths leading to peace.

This is the website of the Religious Society of Friends (Quakers) in Scotland and its organisational body Quakers in Scotland.
