Detailed explanation-1: -Quakers seek religious truth in inner experience, and place great reliance on conscience as the basis of morality. They emphasise direct experience of God rather than ritual and ceremony. They believe that priests and rituals are an unnecessary obstruction between the believer and God.
Detailed explanation-2: -Our inner experience leads us to be committed to equality, peace, simplicity and truth; all of which we try to live out in our lives.
