  • Joining the books on introducing Quakerism is Richard Hilken's Reason, Faith and Experience
  • This is another short book that sets out to answer many of the questions people ask about Quakers
  • Richard has in mind particularly those who have no upbringing in Christianity or any other religion


  • His first section is on worship as the centre of our corporate life
  • Here he explores the problems and opportunities of religious uncertainty that come with 'freedom from doctrinal orthodoxy' and points out that this lack of doctrine is unique in western religion

  • Marion Wells-Bruges
