About Quakers
Quakers share a way of life rather than a set of beliefs. We seek to experience God (however we understand that word) directly, within ourselves and in our relationships with others and the world around us. For more information visit the Quakers Australia website.
About The Australian Friend
The Australian Friend is the official journal of The Religious Society of Friends (Quakers) in Australia Inc. It has been continuously published since 1887. There are four issues per year, in March, June, September and December. We also publish Quaker Voice.
