What do Quakers believe? Are they really Christian? Does it still make sense to talk of God? What does 'that of God in everyone' mean? Is the peace testimony still tenable? Quakers are seriously asking themselves these questions. In The End of Words, first published in 1994, Rex Ambler explores the meaning of Quaker faith and practice. He takes up these issues with admirable clarity, setting them in their wider context, and looking for ways to resolve them. Quakers have nearly always been opposed to 'creeds'. Should they oppose any new 'basis of faith' for inter-church processes? In Creeds and the Search for Unity, first published in 1989, Rex Ambler examines this Quaker view, and the new formulations which Quakers were invited to accept. Intended mainly as a guide for Quakers wrestling with questions about membership of inter-church bodies, it will be useful to other Christians who are puzzled by Quaker attitudes.
