A set of questions, based on Friends’ practices and testimonies, that are considered by Meetings and individuals as a way of both guiding and examining individual and corporate lives and actions. As such, they are a means of self-examination. Queries to be considered regularly are included in Faith and Practice; others may be formulated by a committee or Meeting that seeks to clarify for itself an issue it needs to address.
