Quakers are pretty cool! The American Friend's Service committee is the First organization to ever win the nobel peace prize. They are often the first organization let in to war torn areas. They seem to have a pretty strong belief in peace and non-violence. Many of them were consciencious objectors WAY before that became cool. Many Quakers were also active abolitionists.
I think Liberal Quakers and Orthodox Quakers are pretty different. My best friend is a Liberal Quaker/Wiccan. Her family is Quaker and that's how she was raised, and although she is now Wiccan she still attends Quaker meeting and they don't have a problem with that. Liberal Quakers are kind of similar to UU in that you can kind of believe whatever you want, but their meetings are very different. I think Orthodox Quakers are more strictly Christian.

Interesting. Specifically, I did not know about the difference in Liberal and Orthodox. I guess living peacefully is a pretty strong part of their value system?

Corwin...er, no, I guess that wouldn't help much then.
But I'm sure some of the really old oldbies remember her.
sarcasticmuppet: I never played mafia, so I'm not sure what you mean. Did Bonduca originate the mafia trend here?

Thanks. It is cool that this site gives a brief description on each belief system. I would enjoy reading them all. Quakers seem pretty darn cool.
