http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Religious_Society_of_Friends

Extractions: Christian ecumenism The Religious Society of Friends , commonly known as Quakers , or Friends , is a religious community founded in England in the 17th century . Quakers are counted among the historic peace churches , and have congregations scattered across the world. Since its origins in England, Quakerism has spread to other countries, chiefly the United States Kenya and Bolivia . The number of Quakers in the world is relatively small (approximately 600,000), although there are places, such as Philadelphia, PA US, in which Quaker influence is concentrated. edit Like many movements, Religious Society of Friends has evolved, changed, and split into various smaller subgroups. It is difficult to describe the Religious Society of Friends without making numerous qualifications and listing exceptions. In order to understand other aspects of the Religious Society of Friends, it is helpful to understand the basic divisions and organization. In Britain there has been a high level of organizational unity throughout the history of the Society. The local Friends meetings there are called 'preparative meetings'. Several local meetings are part of a '

Elizabeth Gurney Fry (1780-1845), Quaker Prison Reformer - QuakerInfo.com
Information about this prison reformer and minister of the religious society of friends.
http://www.quakerinfo.com/fry.shtml

Extractions: -Elizabeth Gurney Fry Few Quakers have inspired people in the larger society as much as Elizabeth Gurney Fry. Yet most know of only one aspect of ther life. Here I seek to provide a brief overview of the life of this woman who had such an impact on public life at a time when that was not well accepted. Elizabeth Gurney was the third of 12 children of John and Catherine Gurney of Norwich, England. John Gurney was a successful banker and businessman. Catherine was a member of the Barclay banking family. Both their families were active in the Society of Friends (Quakers). Catherine believed that girls as well as boys should have a well rounded education, so Elizabeth got the basics of all the major academic subjects from her mother. Catherine also told the children Bible stories and read Psalms to them. She spent much time visiting and helping the sick and the poor, and the child Elizabeth loved to go on these visits with her mother. Elizabeth must have been deeply grieved at the age of 12 when her mother died shortly after giving birth to her twelfth child.
Horsham Monthly Meeting Religious Society Of Friends (Quakers)
Introduction to the Horsham Monthly Meeting of the religious society of friends.
http://www.pym.org/abington-qm/horsham.htm

Extractions: "As many candles lighted and put in one place do greatly augment the light and make it more to shine forth, so when many are gathered together into the same life there is more of the glory of God, and His power appears to the refreshment of each individual, for each partakes not only of the light and life raised in himself, but in all the rest. Robert Barclay (1648-1690)" We welcome you to our Meeting and hope that together we will find strength and peace as we worship. The following notes may be of help to those of our visitors who are unfamiliar with Quaker worship. We as Friends believe that there is something of God in everyone - a Christ within or an Inner Light. We worship together - without clergyman, ritual or music - because we hope to become more aware of God's light guiding us and His voice speaking to us. Through prayer and silent meditation we strive to come into a real awareness of the Divine Presence working in us. As we seek to know God's will, we may feel within an inspiration to share with others the insights we have gained. Such sharing may take the form of vocal prayer or ministry; from time to time others in the Meeting will feel similarly moved to respond to these messages. Thus out of the silence often emerges a real sense of shared communion with the Father of us all.

Society Of Friends - Quakers
The Society of Friends (in full, religious society of friends), is the designationof a body of Christians more commonly known as Quakers.
http://mb-soft.com/believe/txc/quakers.htm

Extractions: General Information The Society of Friends, commonly called Quakers, is a body of Christians that originated in 17th century England under George Fox. In 1988 the society had 200,260 members, with heavy concentrations in the United States (109,000), East Africa (45,000) and Great Britain (18,000). Quakers unite in affirming the immediacy of Christ's teaching; they hold that believers receive divine guidance from an inward light, without the aid of intermediaries or external rites. Meetings for worship can be silent, without ritual or professional clergy, or programmed, in which a minister officiates. Although their antecedents lie in English Puritanism and in the Anabaptist movement, the Society of Friends was formed during the English Civil War. Around 1652, George Fox began preaching that since there was "that of God in every man," a formal church structure and educated ministry were unnecessary. His first converts spread their faith throughout England, denouncing what they saw as social and spiritual compromises and calling individuals to an inward experience of God. In spite of schism and persecution, the new movement expanded during the Puritan Commonwealth (1649 - 60) and after the restoration of the monarchy (1660). By openly defying restrictive legislation, Friends helped achieve passage of the Toleration Act of 1689. BELIEVE
