Can Quaker priests be married

Answer 1

A distinctive feature of the Quaker religion is that there no priests. They believe there is god in everyone, regardless of sex, race, creed etc, that everyone is equal before god and their religious meetings are run accordingly, meaning members are simply called upon to say something, read some scripture or whatever - no 'running the show' like a priest would.

So in any event, the question doesn't apply.

Alternative AnswerI have heard it said that within Britain Yearly Meeting of The Religious Society of Friends (Quakers) that the laity has been abolished and all are priests.

As for marriage of a 'priest', certainly in the context of all Quakers being 'priests' marriage is a possibility for them. If a Quaker community was convinced of there being a lifelong commitment of at least one Quaker with another person (who may or may not be a Quaker) I presume a marriage would be supported and witnessed in a Meeting for Worship held with due notice for that purpose.

In some Quaker Traditions I understand some people are appointed as Pastors or Leaders of a local faith group although not, I believe formally know as priests, so they too would normally be able to marry.
