The Religious Society of Friends FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions about The Religious Society of Friends, aka Quakers

In response to various requests in soc.religion.quaker I have compiled the following FAQ answers posting. The history in particular is rather sketchy. This is an evolving document, and corrections are welcomed.

This posting is now being automatically posted monthly, to soc.religion.quaker, soc.answers, and news.answers on USENET news, and is in Internet Digest FAQ format. This also causes it to automatically appear in various places (See ftp://rtfm.mit.edu/pub/usenet/news.answers/), (See http://www.faqs.org/faqs/Quaker-faq/), and others too numerous to list.
