What did Quakers believe in?
"Quakers," (actual name: Society of Friends) stood for extreme simplicity in worship and conduct, eschewing ritual, music, titles and elaborate courtesies. Over the years, Quakers have come more to resemble mainstream Christians (they no longer address each other as "thee") but some distinctions remain in their nomenclature. For example, instead of "priest or minister" they have "clerk"; for "church," "meeting house"; for "Sunday," "First Day"; for "congregation," "meeting." It's widely believed that Quakers must be pacifist, and certainly many have been, but the real emphasis is acting on conscience and the inspiration of God. Quakers number only about 300,000, but have done social good all out of proportion to that small number.

I have found that Quakers in Bristol, UK, speak with a Bristol accent, those in Dublin, Eire have a Dublin accent and those in Manchester, UK, have a Manchester accent. I expect Brooklyn Quakers have a Brooklyn, USA accent and Peoria Quakers have the accent of central Illinois, USA!
