About Midlothian Friends Meeting (Quakers)
We are friends and Friends. As friends we are a community of spiritual seekers who prefer a simple and plain worship. As Friends we are part of the Religious Society of Friends, the formal term for Quakers.
We are not a traditional church. We have no priest or pastor; we are an unprogrammed Quaker meeting. We meet in silent worship with an attitude of "expectant waiting" on the Spirit.

BELIEFS
Quakers have beliefs, but not creeds or dogma. To Quakers (or Friends) the primary source of spiritual inspiration, and the central belief, is that each individual is endowed with a measure of the divine, called the 'Inner Light', or 'that of God'. Quakers hold that each person can experience the Inner Light in their daily lives without the need for formal creeds, theologies, or doctrines. Seeking this measure of the divine is at the heart of Quaker worship and life.
The concept of the Inner Light, or 'that of God', is central to Quaker beliefs. This measure of the divine is part of an individual's soul or inner being, and was inspired in part by the Biblical passage (John 1:9) referring to the "true Light, which lighteth every man that cometh into the world". What individuals do with this Inner Light is in large part left to their free will and choice. Quakers recognize that there is the potential for good and evil in all of us, but believe that we can turn to this light, choosing to become 'children of God' or 'children of the Light'.
Believing in the possibility of a direct experience with the divine is not unique to Quakers, but Quakers are unique among Christian religions in the importance they place on the importance and availability of this experience. Quakers hold this direct experience as the primary source of religion, de-emphasizing other sources such as books, set prayers, and rituals. Although Friends believe in the value of the Christian bible as a source of inspiration and a guide, they do not believe it should have the final say, or that it is infallible.
