The doctrines of the Society of Friends may be divided into three classes, to be designated here as primary, secondary and tertiary. In a general way the secondary come from the primary, and the tertiary derive their character from the secondary.

According to this scheme the primary doctrine concerns the Inward Light, the secondary, the meeting for worship and the meeting for business, and the tertiary, the outreaching social implications of the type of community life expressed through these meetings.
