Society of Friends

À propos de l'auteur

The Society of Friends, also known as Quakers, is a religious movement that emerged in the 17th century England. Founded by George Fox, the group emphasizes the importance of personal experience of God rather than relying solely on established doctrines or rituals. Quakers are known for their commitment to peace, simplicity, and social justice, often advocating for human rights and equality across various social issues. Over the years, the Society of Friends has played a significant role in several social movements, including the abolition of slavery and the promotion of women's rights.

Quakers practice a unique form of worship that often involves silent reflection, allowing individuals to connect with the divine in their own way. This approach has led to a diverse range of beliefs and practices within the society, making it a rich tapestry of faith. The Society of Friends continues to have a global presence, with active communities in many countries, where they strive to embody their values of love, peace, and integrity in both personal and communal life.
