Quakers, who are members of the Religious Society of Friends, hold jobs just like everyone else. In many cases these jobs are held for reasons of social conscience, but their belief that everything one does should be done in a way that is honorable before God led to them being viewed as honest businesspersons and honest workers. Historically, in a world a century or more ago before a "Better Business Bureau" existed, dealing with a Quaker was a way to make sure you got goods that were of good quality at a price that was fair and that the goods would not knowingly have been created on the backs of others less fortunate (i.e.: slave labour). This policy and good business sense made some Quakers wealthy (but certainly not all of them). However, it is often said today in Quaker historical circles that "The Quakers came to America to do good, and they did well".

So how did Quakers make money? The same way as everyone else, but especially with an eye open toward the social consequences of their work.

Yes, however the Quaker would have to agree to raise the children as Catholics.

They are a 21st century worldwide religion.

They began in England in the 17th Century and now have the largest number of their Worshippers in Kenya.

The Quaker principles are integrity, equality, community, simplicity, and peace.

Friends. There still exist "Friends'" church denominations in the US.

Pretty much everything other than Christianity and Democracy. The Puritans believed in a Socialistic Theocracy with a very limited democratically elected hierarchal structure. The Puritans emphasized severe punishment and public adgnowledgement for sins. Catholics believe in a democraticly elected, very powerful hierarchy. Catholosism emphasizes love. The pentanance in Catholosism is private, and is one's confession.

No

D0.... the questioner does not say what about?

I suppose Quakers wanted to, and still want to, Worship without interruption or disapproval particularly from Governments and followers of other faiths.

a family that never fights because they are part of the society of friends

They believed in nonviolence and equality

To my knowledge, Quakers have never practiced polygamy.

The QUACKER religion was started by Donald Duck, after a traumatic period of his life, when he was no longer a star at Disney Studio's. After years roaming the Himalayas he found enlightenment and started preaching Universal Love in Kentucky. He then advocated a ban on all take away food outlets.

A Quaker is what a member of the Society of Friends is called.

The word 'Quaker' is another term for the Religious Society of Friends. Friends have steered as clear a path as possible away from statements of belief. However the following, taken from the Quakers in the UK site, mentions the basis of the diversity which is Quakerism.

"... Quakers do not share a fixed set of beliefs. Our unity is based on shared understanding and a shared practice of worship, not on our beliefs all being the same. There is no need to be in unity with Quakers on every issue in order to be part of our meetings.

There is a great diversity within the Quakers on conceptions of God, and we use different kinds of language to describe religious experience. Some Quakers have a conception of God which is similar to that of orthodox Christians, and would use similar language.

Others are happy to use God-centred language, but would conceive of God in very different terms to the traditional Christian trinity. Some describe themselves as agnostics, or humanists, or non-theists and describe their experiences in ways that avoid the use of the word God entirely. Quaker faith is built on experience and Quakers would generally hold that it is the spiritual experience which is central to Quaker worship, and not the use of a particular form of words (whether that be "God" or anything else) ... "

They believed that all humans were precious creations of God and therefore it was ungodly to wrongfully take the life of another.

Pennsylvania was founded as a state of religious freedom by the Quakers. William Penn, who founded the colony on March 4, 1681, was the leader of this movement.

The laws were applied equally to Europeans and natives; if a colonist injured or killed an Indian, he was punished as prescribed by the law covering the specific crme. There was no attitude of "It was only an Indian," because Penn and others like him saw the natives as just as human as Europeans, with the same basic human rights. This also gained the respect and trust of the First Americans. So the relationship was good between the Quakers and the indians.

Yes the Quaker's did believe that all people were equal in gods sight.

No Quakers don't take communion.

Some, if not most Quakers would describe themselves as Christians today. Most Quaker Churches, if not all are members of The World Council of Churches, which is a Christian organisation.

Of course! Everybody has an accent.

Many members of my Quaker meeting in Swarthmoor, Cumbria, England, UK, have the accent of the Furness district.

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!

It has to do with the United States trying to make peace with the indigenous population. See the related link.

Quakers meet weekly, normally on a Sunday and sometimes during the week as well. The only real exception is where the group is very small in which case they may meet once every two-weeks, 3 weekly or even monthly.

Because the Quakers wanted to find land.
