Best Answer

Quakers are often known as "Friends". They developed as a branch of Christianity. There are now different branches of Quakerism.

Quakers meet together to worship to discern the will of the spirit they feel within themselves.

It is more important to be seeking the truth than to believe you have found it to be a Quaker. A Quaker is not required to have a set of beliefs before call their self a Quaker.
