Karen,
Thanks for tollerating my rambling and thanks also for the correction.So many of these old accounts of persecution I have read get files together in my mind.I am not a practicing Quaker, but have close fiends who are; my great-grandmother was the last of my line to be raised in the Quaker faith.Many of my family are Christian Scientists or non-denominational today, but we adhere to many of the old Quaker customs, such as silent prayer and the teachings and beliefs of the Friends is very much alive still.Most of us are particulary firm in the belief that we each have an Inner-Light.
I am on a trip in NJ and PA as I write and have made one (and plan another) day-trip to Swarthmore College.Such fantastic records there!
Take care!
