Does anyone have any links about the Quakers religion and their origin? I know little about them and have not come across anything about them here. I am having a hard time finding anything about them on the web. Any sites or pages about them would be appreciated.

The Religious Society of Friends

he Religious Society of Friends, commonly known as Quakers, or Friends, is a religious community founded in England in the 17th century. Quakers are counted among the historic peace churches, and have congregations scattered across the world. Since its origins in England, Quakerism has spread to other countries, chiefly the United States, Kenya and Bolivia. The number of Quakers in the world is rather small (approximately 600,000), although there are places, such as Philadelphia, in which Quaker influence is concentrated.
