Quaker Faith and Practice is the Religious Society of Friends' own current book of Christian discipline, adopted and periodically revised by Britain Yearly Meeting as its own primary governing statement, and this record holds it as a custodian source for exactly that reason. It is authoritative for what British Quakers currently state as their own faith and practice, checkable directly against the text the Yearly Meeting itself publishes and maintains online, not for how Quaker meetings in other countries or of a different tradition, programmed rather than unprogrammed worship, currently practice. Use it to establish British Quaker belief and practice as the denomination itself currently states it; a claim about Quaker practice elsewhere needs that yearly meeting's own text instead.
