Quakers are chary of doctrine, feeling that it seeks to limit our
understanding of God and to shut people out rather than bring them
in. In his 1982 Swarthmore Lecture book, the late Gerald Priestland
drew upon his experience in exploring the doctrines of the churches
for his broadcast series Priestland's Progress. In his talks with
more than a hundred thoughtful churchpeople he found doctrine to be
far more flexible and useful than many of us suppose. In his own
words 'It is not a set of unreasonable certainties, but of
reasonable uncertainties. It is a way of packaging and passing on
information. It is a set of tools to work with, not a row of idols
to worship'. Quakers do not need to hammer out doctrines of their
own, but they can be an authentic part of the One Great Church only
if they are prepared to come to terms with doctrinal thinking and
see what it means.
