If you want to discover the captivating history of the Quakers, then pay attention...

Many other mainline Christians viewed the Quakers as a dangerous sect, so much so that they pressured the British Parliament to pass the Quaker Act of 1662. This act set forth in law the “prescribed form” of prayer and worship as designated by the state. It was a formula that specifically left the traditions of the Quakers out.

Unable to gain acceptance in England, the Quakers would soon leave the place of their origin altogether and try their luck in a brave new world on another continent.

In The Quakers: A Captivating Guide to a Historically Christian Group and How William Penn Founded the Colony of Pennsylvania in British North America, you will discover topics such as:

  • The Quakers Arrive in America
  • William Penn Comes to the Quaker Faith
  • William Penn’s Holy Experiment
  • William Penn, Pennsylvania, and Its Quaker Legacy
  • The State of Quakerism After William Penn
  • Quaker Life During the American Revolution
  • A Time of Great Adjustment
  • The Quakers the Civil War and Its Aftermath
  • Some Modern-Day Quaking in the Making
  • And much, much more!

I have recently started attending a Quaker meeting on Sundays (church services). We wanted to know more about Quakers, I haven't seen it yet, but he doesn't compose reviews, so I'm signing one for him. He found it to be a quick listen that gave him exactly what he wanted, an intro to the Quakers, their beliefs, and history.

This author details Quakerism's history from the time of George Fox to the present. Of course, this title does cover every little detail but does share the major developments of this practice. As such, proofreaders will learn how Quakerism operated in the British colonies, Civil War, Civil Rights movement,

I found the recording kind of dull, but it wasn’t a fault of the content. This is fascinating history of a group whose influence has been small, but very pure.
