Maidstone Local Meeting

For a Quaker, religion is not an external activity, concerning a special 'holy' part of the self. It is an openness to the world in the here and now with the whole of the self.

Harvey Gillman (a British Quaker, writing in 1988)

Noticeboard | Diary

Maidstone is a small but active meeting.

The central focus of Quaker spirituality is on our experience. We have no creed and there is no expectation of any particular belief.

We do share values and practices that are important to us: in particular our religious practice based on waiting in stillness; listening to each other and to what we call the inner light. We seek to respond to that of God in everyone, although we may have widely differing understandings of what "God" means. Quakers also share a commitment to our testimony to peace, truth, equality, simplicity and sustainability. Quaker testimony is not just about holding these values to be important; it is about a way of living our lives and of acting in the world.

Here is an extract from a recent newsletter about an important concern for our members.
