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


(2) a way of doing church business based on the idea of corporate direct guidance rather than voting


(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
