Abstract: Abstract In 1998, the Religious Society of Friends, or Quakers, had 300,000 adherents. Half of the world’s Quakers live today in Kenya. In 1640, George Fox as a young man embarked on a journey around England to understand its spiritual turmoil. He met others on a similar quest. He came to believe that the presence of God was found within people, not churches. Quakers include people who are progressive Christians, Evangelicals, and Friends who are unsure about labels or who are even atheists.
