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.
So, what do Quakers believe?
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.
All are welcome to join us at Meeting for Worship on Sunday mornings: more information here
