Most Quakers who may be members of one of the branches (Yearly Meetings) of the Religious Society of Friends do not believe in war. Many in the past have refused to be conscripted by their Government to take part in military activity.

Some don't eat meat (vegetarians). Many Quakers believe that God is within each person. Many Quakers live to create a relationship with God through the people around them.

Quakers consist of diverse worldwide groups, there are individuals who accept the detail of Christianity much in the same way as an Episcopalian and yet others who question the existence of God. They are able to worship together as they accept that there is a unity between all peoples who are genuine seekers after truth.

It has been said in America; their unity is beliefs in pacifism, social equality, integrity, and simplicity, which they interpret and express in a variety of ways.

Today, Friends include stewardship of our planet as one of their testimonies. See the link below for more information on the Society of Friends in America.
