For a Quaker, religion is not an external activity, concerning a special
"holy" part of the self. It is an openness to the world in the here
and now and with the whole of the self. If this is to be not merely
a pious common-place, it must take into account the whole of our humanity:
our attitude to other human beings in our most intimate as well as social
and political relationships. It must also take account of our life in
the world around us, the way we live, the way we treat animals and the
environment. In short, to put it in traditional language, there is no
part of ourselves and or our relationships where God is not present.".
[Harvey Gillman, 1988, in Quaker Faith and Practice 1995]
