The key common ground among the whole world family of Friends:

(1) the centrality of inward encounter with God and revelation, and forms of worship that allow this to be experienced

(3) the spiritual equality of everyone


(4) the preference for peace and pacifism rather than war, and the commitment to other forms of social witness
