Free Friends

The Religious Society of Free Friends

Testimonies

Inner Light

Treating everyone, everywhere, as equally precious to God, recognizing that everyone has gifts to share. There is no place where God is not.

Integrity and Justice

Think it possible that you may be mistaken, act on what you believe, and do what you say you will. Integrity serves justice.

Peace

Neither force nor fraud should be initiated by a good and just person. Peace is an outcome of Love and we should love all. We seek justice and healing for all people; taking away the causes of war in the ways we live.

Simplicity

Extravagance for the sake of self-aggrandizement is not our way. We believe in humility, the just and efficient use of the resources God has given us. Focusing on what is truly important and letting other things fall away.

Stewardship

God gave man dominion over the world; that dominion is well developed. One should tread lightly and do one’s part in ensuring the earth’s flourishing.

About Us

For legal purposes we understand that we will be called a church, we call a church the entire body of believers and choose to call ourselves a monthly meeting.

Our Beliefs

God is a mystery. We do not claim to have a monopoly of understanding of God and his will. We are constantly searching with openness and humility for the truth that is our creator. We welcome anyone to worship with us anywhere. Free Friends believe in a divine creative force(s) and believe that the path to understanding that mystery is reached through peace, personal responsibility and honesty.
