For their form of religion, the Quakers relied primarily on spiritual

Bunyan All throughout history, the world has seen the affects of great men who have made it their life’s goal to further the word of God. There have been pastors who travel all around their nation preaching at every church they can find. There have been pastors who have had to hold services in secret or else be imprisoned for the rest of their lives.

the seventeenth-century English Civil War spawned many different religious groups, one of these were The Society of Friends. Founded by George Fox in the 1640's The Society of Friends came to be known as the Quakers, a term that was derived from the physical shaking and trembling of the believer when experiencing a union with God (p.14).

closely to Social Work’s own core beliefs and values. For my paper, I will discuss Quakerism, their practices, beliefs, values, and how Quakerism supports human rights and equality. A Brief History The Religious Society of Friends was founded by George Fox during the 1600s in England. The term “Quaker” was given to the group as a way to ridicule them.

Early Quaker Women in Ministry The Account of the Travels, Sufferings, and Persecutions of Barbara Blaugdone gives us an insight into the traveling ministry of the work’s namesake, Barbara Blaugdone, the Quaker woman who persevered through trial after trial to come out on top. As she says, “I can speak it to the glory of God, he never moved me to any thing, but that he gave me Power to perform it” (Blaugdone 8). In other words, God gave Blaugdone no trial that He did not also give her the power
and the help of others, the Quakers left a huge impact on Pennsylvania and the entire nation. The Quakers are a religion that originated in England in protest of the Anglican Church's practices. The man in charge of this religious revolution was George Fox.1 He believed that God didn't live in churches as much as he lived in people's hearts.2 In that state of mind, he went out into the world in search of his true religion. He argued with priests, slept in fields, and spent days and nights trying to
Account of the Travels, Sufferings and Persecutions of Barbara Blaugdone The title of Barbara Blaugdone’s memoir is An Account of the Travels, Sufferings and Persecutions of Barbara Blaugdone, with “travels” highlighted by its enormous size. Indeed, when reading the book the reader is perhaps most struck by Blaugdone’s excessive, nearly constant travel habits.

On the summer afternoon after graduation, I sat on my bed listening to Nirvana on vinyl, fresh and green at 18. I looked around at the room that had come to define the last years of my childhood. Pictures I had torn from magazines and books were pasted together in a huge collage that masked the white walls of my bedroom. An organized barrage of lyrics, articles, photographs and drawings had come to occupy those once stark divisions. It was beautiful, because it was just like me. A methodical madness

State University was a childhood dream. Whitworth University took over at the start of high school. Whitworth seemed the perfect size. As the search for other options started, a couple more places came into mind in Washington, such as Northwest University and Whitman University.

There were 4 colleges around the same size as Whitworth, included Lewis & Clark College, Pacific University, Linfield University, and

The Significance of William Pitt in Reforming the British Parliamentary System Successive Kings of England, George I (1714-1727) and George II (1727-60), both proved highly disinterested in the political aspects of their country.
