Why? How? Rhiannon Grant
by Rhiannon Grant I am a Quaker both by accident and by design. I didn’t set out to be born into a Quaker family (although perhaps my parents had it in mind!), but nevertheless I was, as it happened, a cradle Quaker. Later in life, I made a few half-hearted attempts to leave the Quaker [...]
Why? How? Sheila Hancock
by Sheila Hancock (from a radio interview, not written for Nayler) After I had cancer myself, I began to feel a lack of a spiritual element in my life… I went to a meeting of the Society of Friends – a Quaker meeting. I went for a weekend – they have weekend retreats. Instantly it [...]
Why? How? Hayley & Mia
By Hayley and Mia Hayley: We have been attending Quaker meetings for about a year and a half now. Mia has made friends and I often stay in the family room for the first part of the meeting to play games with the young ones. I found out about Quakerism through reading and researching on [...]
Why? How? Stephanie Grant
By Stephanie Grant Why am I a Quaker? because it’s where God wants me to be, because it’s a place I can work out how to follow the teachings of Jesus without the rituals and creeds that troubled me in other churches, because I feel it’s where I belong, because it gives me a safe [...]
Why? How? Eleanor Coss
by Eleanor Coss Quaker Meetings for Worship are one of the things I find hardest to explain to people who have never experienced them. It sounds so dull: you sit in silence for an hour and try very hard not to think about what you’re going to have for lunch. Then someone stands up and [...]
Why? How? Simon Colbeck
by Simon Colbeck To answer this question like a Quaker I’ll start by saying “It depends what you mean by “why””. No single answer is enough. In one sense I’m a Quaker because my parents made the decision for me. They were quite religious people and when I was about ten they decided that the [...]
Why? How? Wess Daniels
by Wess Daniels I found old school Quakerism in a place that may surprise my liberal unprogrammed F/friends, in an Evangelical Friends college that had largely forgotten its historical Quaker roots. I grew up a nominal Catholic and in my early teens my family began attending a charismatic Evangelical church. It was there that I [...]
Why? How? Sam Barnett-Cormack
By Sam Barnett-Cormack On my bag, I have a badge, and on social media, I have an avatar, and both say “I’m a Quaker – ask me why”; that last one was just for Quaker Week, though. People are still slow to ask, but every little helps when letting people know what Quakers are really [...]
Why? How? Paul Levy
By Paul Levy For me being a Quaker is about thinking about others and the world when I make decisions, not something I find easy, I think that in me there is a very selfish person whom Quakerism helps keep in check. I found Quakerism because of spending a life changing two weeks with a [...]
Why? How? Ben Jarman
How and Why I am a Quaker by Ben Jarman I first came to Quakers because of a crisis. In 2005, a friend fell victim to a serious crime, and in the aftermath her life fell apart. Those of us around her tried to help pick up the pieces, but we were powerless and our [...]
