R.O.: May it please the Court of Quaker Opinion that we have not lost regard for our charismatic founder, nor the discipline that marks us as his offspring.

G.O.: Dear Friends, we are found(ed) by the Spirit of God and claimed by and for God's purpose. Along with the rest of humanity, we have always been children of God who now see the Light.

R.O.: We have a refuge from the world where we find freedom from dangerous diversions.

G.O.: There is no refuge from the Lamb's War, and no dangers that do not commend our concern and effort to address. Your rule of sectarian isolationism will not either welcome or win the worldly to God.

R.O.: We take absolute solace in the pure protection offered us by our peculiar manner, if not garb. We preserve an historic stance and corporate identity to counter self-glorification in the world.

G.O.: Have ye not heard the Good News, then, or the Order that comes from it? The glory of God is redeemed humanity, fully alive in and to the world.
