Quaker -Quaker religion
Quaker Religion
The Quaker religion, also called the Society of Friends, was
started by George Fox. He thought that the only way to talk
to God was through an inner spiritual faith. He believed that
it was possible for everyone to talk directly with God. This
belief challenged the authority of the Anglican church. He
started the Quaker religion to practice what he believed.
One of the most important Quaker beliefs was that Quakers
were against slavery, and they would not own any slaves. In
1776, the National Quaker Organization banned slave-holding
among themselves.
