The book, Quaker faith and practice, provides spiritual wisdom, guidance, and advice for the Quaker Church.

The Church made the decision to edit the book at its annual gathering on Sunday.

 

Paul Parker, recording clerk for Quakers in Britain said: “Once in a generation, Quakers decide to take a long hard look at our faith, what it means to us, and what we can say about it.

“Today’s bold decision to revise Quaker faith and practice means it’s time for us to do that again. It’s exciting. We want to hear the insights of younger and more diverse people, and set out how we are a faith fit for the 21st century. I’m looking forward to it.”

Quakers in Britain said some of the children and young people taking part in the gathering pushed for recognition of diversity.

The last revision took around ten years to complete.
