Quakers, or the Religious Society of Friends, typically do not use crosses in their meeting houses because they emphasize a direct and personal relationship with God rather than the symbols of Christianity. They focus on the inner light and the presence of the divine within each individual, viewing external symbols as potentially distracting from this personal experience. Additionally, Quaker worship is centered on silence and reflection, where the absence of symbols allows for a more direct encounter with the spiritual.
