The Quaker Universalist Group welcomes people from both inside and outside the Religious Society of Friends, of any religion or none
- to explore the underlying universalist thinking of Quakers and its relevance to modern society
- to create, through deep spiritual exploration, a new philosophy for the contemporary world, drawing on the wisdom of other religions and cultural backgrounds
- to seek an uncluttered way of worship that is tolerant, healing and holistic, and calls for everyday living with integrity
