Friends believe in the power of love to evoke the inherent worth of others. We are called to accept and love all persons despite transgressions, confrontations, or apparent differences. As members of the human community, we try to recognize that differences in relative viewpoints spring from varied experiences and that only through love, compassion and understanding can these differences be reconciled. Violence stands as the ultimate denial of love. Peace remains its cherished affirmation. Friends aim toward the transformation of a flawed world into one that would make possible equality, justice, and peace for all peoples.
