by George Rhys Williams 15th February 2013

Quaker: Christian who believes that all humanity is lighted with a divine spark or light from God and that one must conform to God’s will via this light.  Quaker: A person that believes something divine or ‘other’ can be experienced directly within themselves regardless of theological beliefs, and that one ought to live the best one can by the inspirations and leadings it gives forth.   Quaker: A person who believes whatever they want and might, if they want to, believe in divine inspiration and living by it.
