Why I am a Quaker
Everyone’s journey to becoming a Quaker is personal and unique, shaped by discovery, reflection, and experience. On this page you’ll hear directly from Friends across Aotearoa New Zealand as they share their own stories — in their own words and voices — about what drew them to Quaker life and what it means to them today. These voices reflect a variety of backgrounds and perspectives, offering a warm, authentic glimpse into the spiritual, communal, and values-led lives that make up the Quaker community here.
