Faith in Action

Walking our Talk

Quakers recognise the potential for goodness in all people and the value of a shared spiritual experience. Our way of life is centred on our silent Meeting for worship, our Testimonies, and on our actions as we feel prompted to put our faith into practice. Currently Friends in Aotearoa are putting their faith-led values into action in many ways in areas of peace, social justice, economic justice, sustainability and wider faith in action.

On this page we share some examples.

Peace

Social Justice

Economic Justice

Sustainability

This list is not exhaustive. The examples have been selected to highlight a few ways in which Quakers put their faith into action. 

Highlights of ways Quakers put their faith into action

On a daily basis Quakers are led by their faith - in their work, in their family interactions, in their community - as well as getting involved in more visible acts of corporate witness.

Throughout Aotearoa Quakers are active in pursuit of Peace, Social Justice, Economic Justice, Sustainability, and more.
