Quaker Universalist Fellowship

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Quaker Universalist Fellowship is a religious organization serving predominantly individuals with a prior association with the Religious Society of Friends (Quakers), and a universalist understanding of Quaker teachings and traditions. It has published books and periodicals from Landenberg, Pennsylvania since the 1980s.[1]

It calls itself

an informal gathering of persons who cherish the spirit of universality that has always been intrinsic to the Quaker faith[2]

and says that its mission is

to foster the understanding that within everyone is a directly accessible spiritual light that can lead people to equality, simplicity, justice, compassion and peace.[3]
