Description
Best known as pacifists, Quakers (members of the Society of Friends) have been at the forefront of social justice and conflict resolution, once being leaders in the movement to abolish slavery on three continents and, more recently, key players in international peacemaking and fighting global poverty. This book is an in-depth look at the Quaker religion, philosophy, distinctive culture and its place in history.
