new to Quakerism, any advice? :) (also new on here!)
In March I had a very sudden desire to be a Quaker, like literaly I am sure I want to go to meetings, the values align perfectly with mine, I love the idea of giving a name to this feeling i have of something incredible about this world, the oneness of it all, and doing more to help out.
So, any advice you would have wanted as a new Quaker? (British liberal) I've been doing plenty of research but I'm worried I'm romanticising it somehow, that maybe I won't be welcome or I misunderstood Quakerism or something. I'll only be able to start attending in September since I'll be moving away from my Polish Catholic family... I don't know how to break it to them that I'm a non-Christian Quaker? Or want to be. How does one join anyway... Well anyways, thank you in advance. This is my first reddit post as well!
edit: tysm for the replies youve put me at ease a bit 😊
