The essence of Quakerism

Richard Eddleston believes Friends should be open to change

by Richard Eddleston 21st August 2015

Over the last twenty years I have been aware of a continuing trend for Quakerism to become more liberal as it has moved away from its Christocentric roots. As a member of the Quaker Universalist Group for twenty years that has seemed okay. It has now reached a point, however, where it seems to have swung totally the other way and that anything goes in terms of spiritual beliefs, while the glue that holds Quakers together now are the various testimonies.
