This handbook is intended primarily for the guidance of Members and Attenders of the Religious Society of Friends (Quakers) in Australia, although it may be of interest to others also. It provides information about the conduct of worship, decision making, the nature of membership of the Society, the relationship between the Society and other organisations, marriage, finance, and so on. It is a necessary resource for anyone appointed to office within the Society. The handbook complements another publication of the Society, this we can say: Australian Quaker life, faith and thought (2003), the aim of which is to explain the faith that leads to the practice and procedures described here. The two books together form the Australian equivalent of the single volume entitled Quaker Faith & Practice, published by Britain Yearly Meeting in 1995 and subsequently revised.
