their numbers

and their pioneering work for penal reform and against slavery
Illuminates the distinctive methods of

The Quakers are a fascinating religious group both in
their origins and in the variety of reinterpretations of the faith
since. Emerging from the social unrest of the English civil war, the
Quakers have gone on to have an influence way beyond their numbers: be
it their continued stance against war or their pioneering work against
slavery. At the same time, Quakers maintain a distinctive worship method
to achieve the direct encounter with God which has been at the heart of
the movement since its beginning. This book charts the history of
Quakerism and its present-day diversity, and outlines its approach to
worship, belief, theology and language, and ecumenism.
