Description

27 Quakers from 13 Every year Meetings in four countries tell how they combine committed membership of the Religious Society of Friends with rejection of traditional belief in a transcendent, personal and supernatural God. For a few of these ‘nontheist’ Friends, God is no more (but no less) than a symbol of the wholly human values of ‘mercy, pity, peace and love’. For others, the theory of God and ‘God-language’ has change into an archaism and a stumbling-block. Readers who are seeking for a faith or world-view free of supernaturalism, whether they’re Friends, members of other traditions or drop-outs from old-time religion, will find themselves within the company of a varied group whose seek for an authentic 21st century working out of faith and spirituality has led them to declare themselves ‘Godless – for God’s Sake’.
