For us, it is about creating heaven here.
We are not about some kind of insurance policy
to make it better in the next life.
My name is Marigold Bentley. I'm a member of Quakers in Britain.
I am a Quaker because it gives me access
to be surrounded by radical thinkers and radical activists.
I went to work in the occupied territories, the West Bank,
and it was a life-changing experience for me there.
All the religions that are there,
that manifest themselves in the forms of churches
and bells and towers and various outfits,
and hierarchy and feast days, they were all there.
But, in reality the people were
treating one another really abominably, abominably.
I just thought, 'This cannot possibly be what faith is really about.'
'It can't possibly be.'
There is a small Quaker meeting in Ramallah, north of Jerusalem,
and in the quiet of that small group, as it was then and is now,
I thought, 'I think this is really what it's about.'
It's about not having all those trappings of faith,
but ordinary people,
sitting and reflecting and listening to one another
and trying to work out what we we're being asked to do
to make the world a better place.
