Being a Quaker

Geoffrey Durham’s engaging introduction to the life and faith of Quakers today has become the standard work on the subject, selling thousands of copies in its first two editions. For this third edition he has updated scores of practical details, added new information about online Quaker meetings, made fresh recommendations of books, magazines and websites – and retained at the same time the blend of personal experience and spiritual guidance that has made the book so valued by both newcomers and seasoned Quakers.


'This book contains everything you always wanted to know about Quakerism but were afraid to ask. It is an ideal gift to give to newcomers who want to understand what ‘the Quaker way’ is all about.'
