Quakers and
Encounters with other Faiths
As Quakers living in a multi-faith Britain it is
becoming increasingly important for us to understand other faiths. This can
be seen as part of our work for peace and justice as well as a means of
deepening our own spiritual life. It can be done through study, dialogue,
meditation, worship and fellowship with people of other faiths, as well as
working alongside them on campaigns or social projects.

Local
Churches Together
In all our ecumenical involvement, Friends endeavour
to combine a strong sense of the need to be true to our testimonies with a
desire to be ‘answering that of God’ in the members of other churches. At
every level, Friends, like other churches, have to decide whether, how
closely and how formally, to establish ecumenical links with their
neighbours. This leaflet is designed to help Friends in this process of
discernment.

Quakers and
Ecumenical Occasions
For most churches the central form of worship is the
sacrament, variously known as the eucharist, the mass, holy communion,
breaking of bread or the Lord’s supper. Often on ecumenical occasions a
church which is leading the worship will conduct a eucharistic celebration
and will invite all those present to partake of the bread and wine. This
leaflet is to enable Friends to understand more about Quakers and the
Eucharist so that such encounters are made easier.

Organising a Meeting for Worship with Other Churches and Other
Faiths
Quaker Meetings for Worship offer great potential as a
form of worship that is acceptable to those from other denominations or
faiths. Not having set prayers or statements makes this a neutral forum in
which people can worship together. However, in welcoming a large number of
people who have never been to a Quaker Meeting for Worship, more preparation
is required than for a regular Meeting.
