Truth is something you do

“From the earliest days, Quakers were known for speaking truth as they experienced it inwardly in their meetings for worship. They didn’t make a distinction between belief and action. Truth was almost more of a verb than a noun; it was something which you ‘did’ as you experienced it.“
