Chapter 1: Quaker History

The Religious Society of Friends was founded in England in the 17th century by George Fox. Fox was a religious seeker who was dissatisfied with the established churches of his day. He believed that true religion was not a matter of outward forms and rituals, but of an inward experience of God.

Fox's message resonated with many people, and soon he had gathered a group of followers. These followers came to be known as Quakers, because they often trembled or shook when they spoke about their religious experiences.

Quakers faced persecution from both the English government and the established churches. However, they persevered, and by the 18th century they had established a strong presence in England, North America, and other parts of the world.

Chapter 2: Quaker Theology

Quakers also believe that everyone has the potential to experience the divine. They believe that this experience can lead to a life of peace, justice, and compassion.
