Quakers do not have ministers, don't baptize their members, don't practice the sacraments, don't fight in wars, do not drink or smoke or swear. They don't do anything but sit in silence during church services. They have a personal commitment to God and to humanity. They believe that Christian faith must express itself in action and service. The Quaker seeks direct divine illumination, and rejects the rituals, hymns, formal prayers, and hired ministery, which they believe can get in the way. The Quaker tries to live by what they call "the Inner Light". They describe the Inner Light as that of God in each person. Arline
