Quakers share a way of life rather than a set of beliefs. Quakers seek to experience God directly, within ourselves and in our relationships with others and the world around us.
The Quaker way has its roots in Christianity and finds inspiration in the Bible and the life and teachings of Jesus. Quakers also find meaning and value in the teachings of other faiths and acknowledge that Quakerism is not the only way
The focus is on experience rather than written statements
of belief. The Quaker sense of community does not depend on professing identical
beliefs, but from worshipping, sharing and working together. In school,
we find that the Quaker ethos is one that sits happily with young people
from all backgrounds and faiths. They see it as offering something personal
to them as individuals, whether or not they are from a Quaker background.
The Quaker tenets of simplicity, tolerance, equality and peace reach out
beyond the boundaries of any particular faith. For generations of Bootham
students, the Quaker ethos has spoken with relevance and meaning.
