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? 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? 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 [...]
Why? How? John Southern
How I became a Quaker. My parents were Quakers and I was enrolled as a “birthright Friend”. They sent me to a Quaker school at aged 10, principally to avoid the blitz in 1940-41. We had daily Assembly and compulsory attendance at Meeting for Worship on Sundays. I joined a small group of pupils to [...]
Why? How? Jennifer Kavanagh
Why I am a Quaker is first of all because faith took me over. About sixteen years ago, in response to trauma and in a dark time, something was going on within me that I did not understand but felt powerless to resist. I went into churches and ran out. Not what I was looking [...]
Why? How? Heather Martin
by Heather Martin I have been coming to Wednesday Meeting at Westminster Quakers for just over 2 years. My spiritual life was something I had struggled with for a number of years before I started coming. I had been raised a Catholic, became an Anglican, ended up doing some Eastern meditation. What I increasingly was [...]
Why? How? Emily Bishop
By Emily Bishop Good afternoon, friends. My name is Emily, and I’ve been attending the Wednesday Meeting for nearly two years. I was really touched to be invited to speak today, so thank you. I was originally drawn to Quakers by the testimony of Peace. The Peace movement has been a big part of my [...]
Why? How? Bill Clendineng
By Bill Clendineng of Plainfield, Indiana, USA. Why am I a Quaker? I am a Quaker because when I was in high school I went to county-wide Youth For Christ meetings at Garden Grove Friends Church in Southern California. Fast-forwarding a few years, I found myself looking for a church to attend and while browsing [...]
