Quaker Martyr Leader
Name of leader: Mary Barrett Dyer Years lived: 1611–1660 Why did you choose this leader? I chose this leader because she was the earliest recorded
Quaker on your list and made me curious. She was also a Quaker Martyr and I wanted to know the circumstances of her death. Another reason was
that due to the fact she lived so long ago, I wanted to know how much information about her I was going to be able to find. What is this leader best
known for? In other words, why is he or she famous as a Quaker leader? She was known to have stud up to the Puritans of the time and protest a new
anti–Quakers law. She is also famous for her set example of determination and sacrifice. List the choices... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...
Do you admire this leader? Why or why not? Is there anything this leader did or said with which you do not agree or which goes against your own
values? She was not a peacemaker because of her openness against the Puritans and their law to ban Quakers from the colony, but I admire her
determination and sacrifice. It takes a strong person with strong believes to follow through it all until the end. Would you say this person was a
servant–leader? Use specific examples, both from your research on this leader and Reading 2. Empathy was the driving force of her cause. Everyone
has the right of Religious Freedom hence listen to his or her own light that is God and act according to His will. Mary also had the servant–leader
characteristic of persuasion. It took the very act of her sacrificing her own life for people to finally see her way. "After her death a member of the

The Colonial Settlements Of The Quakers
This paper will explore the history of the colonial settlements of the Quakers, who are also known as the Society of Friends, who settled in New Jersey
and Pennsylvania in colonial times. The history surrounding the establishment and growth of the Quaker colonies of West Jersey and Pennsylvania will
be discussed. William Penn's efforts in establishing the colonies of West Jersey andPennsylvania were paramount to Quakers immigrating to America.
John Fenwick also played a major role in founding the colony of West Jersey, which is now known asNew Jersey and the later immigration of Quakers
to Pennsylvania. The abolitionist efforts of the Quakers in their fight against slavery, their equal treatment of slaves and the assistance that they
provided to slaves will also be discussed. Quakers provided shelter, financial support and harbored many slaves so that they could avoid capture by
their owners. Quakers were a large part of the abolitionist movement in the colonies while slavery was legal. Many Quakers played a role in the
Underground Railroad, which assisted slaves in obtaining their freedom and avoiding capture. The terms "Quaker" and Society of Friends are
interchangeable and will be used throughout this paper accordingly.

Emily Howland's Role In The Quakers And Education
Gradually, the Quakers started to rigorously promote education programs and played an important role in raising the literacy rates among back
Northern blacks and raised funds to establish schools in the South, educating hundreds of blacks. Hugh Barbour and J. William Frost provide
statistics in their book, The Quakers, stating that, in 1866, Quakers were able to open nine new schools in Columbus, Mississippi and later
expanded to Macon, Mississippi (198). Emily Howland was an abolitionist, educator, and a suffragist born into a family of Quakers in Sherwood,
New York, in 1827. Her parents, Slocum and Hannah Howland, played prominent roles in the Society of Friends. Following in their footsteps, she
played an active role in trying to abolish slave and became a teacher in a school for colored girls from 1857 to 1859. In 1864, she worked in a large
camp, educating the freed slaves in Arlington, Washington. She taught them to read and write and, lin 1867, went on to open anAfrican American in

Quaker Women in American Colonies Essay
"Quaker Women in the American Colonies" During the colonial period, women were considered inferior to men and "nothing more than servants for
their husbands." During the eighteenth century, unmarried Quaker women were the first to vote, stand up in court, and evangelize; although Quaker
women enjoyed rights that women today take for granted, they were most known for their religious radicalism. According to Rufus Jones, a professor
at Harvard, the Quakers "felt, as their own testimony plainly shows, that they were not solitary adventurers, but that God was pushing them out to be
the bearers of a new and mighty word of Life which was to remake the world, and that the whole group behind them was in some sense embodied in
them." Women... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...
Margaret Fell Fox was a devoutly religious woman and a champion for the rights of Quakers; she worked tirelessly to ensure their civil liberties.
Margaret Fell Fox never made it to the American colonies but her preaching, religious convictions, and continued resolve after years in prison,
changed the face of women who would travel to the New World as Quakers. Mary Dyer stood up at Anne Hutchinson's trial and walked out with
Anne Hutchinson, only to return as a thorn in the sides of John Endicott and John Winthrop. Mary Barrett was born England but immigrated to the
Massachusetts with her husband William Dyer in 1635; both of them were Puritans. During the trial of Anne Hutchinson, both William and Mary
Dyer were open supporters of Anne Hutchinson. Although William Dyer held positions of "high importance," he was relieved of duty and disarmed,
along with other followers of Anne Hutchinson. When Mary Dyer followed Anne Hutchinson out of the Church, she and her husband were also
banished; there was a scandal concerning the death of a stillborn child Mary Dyer had given birth to and after the inquest, Governor John Winthrop

Quakers Beliefs
The Protestant Reformation often gets the lion's share of attention when discussing religious reform and renewal during the Early Modern period.
However, to state that the Reformation was the only significant shift in the ideology and practice of Christianity would be to greatly undersell the
importance of a myriad of religious reformers that denounced the decrepit and outdated relationship between mainstream religious practice and God.
For this new wave of religious reformers, the traditions of the mainstream Church (whether Protestant or Catholic) were getting in the way of godly
men and women forging a personal relationship with their savior, one in which the individual is brought into the grace of God through a true lasting
connection... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...
Breaking from Protestant tradition, in which church services tended to be muted and formal, Methodist services often included "crying, moaning, and
shouting"8. For Methodists, this expression of true rapturous love for God was an outgrowth of the great personal love each person had for his or
her creator; for Methodists, loudly and passionately expressing your religious feelings was to embrace God with all of one's being. This was a
common thread among many reformers during the time period: the idea that the church services being practiced by the mainstream Protestant church
were too far removed from the passionate love of God that many believers felt from within their hearts. Methodism and its focus on personal
relationships and contact with God would prove very popular among disaffected Protestants, and would eventually become among the most

The Quakers And The Religious Society Of Friends
The Quakers were first founded in the mid–1600s in England and were formerly known as The Religious Society of Friends. They were a very simple
and devoted democratic group of people. When they arrived in America, they began to try to settle in Massachusetts. Massachusetts was also where the
Puritan colonists had been settling and because they (the Quakers) threatened the Puritan's beliefs in America they gave them and other opposing
religions, such as the Baptists, harsh punishments for inhabiting their land which included hanging, fines, whipping, and banishing the people from
Massachusetts. The Quakers later moved their efforts to the new land of Pennsylvania. They established their land on "the equality of all persons
(including women, blacks, and Indians) before God." They proved this stance of equality by being the "first group of whites to repudiate slavery" of
Africans. They also purchased their found land from the Indians that owned it. These actions show that the Quakers truly lived in equality. "Religious
freedom was Penn's most fundamental principle." The Quakers never gave an established church for Pennsylvania and allowed almost all religious
freedom in its land. Although the Quakers were lenient on race, gender, and religious preference they did have a "strict code of personal morality."
They "prohibited swearing, drunkenness, and adultery" among many other activities that they thought were immoral. Many of their beliefs spread

The Perseviction Of The Quakers In England
The Quakers formed in England in 1652. Many people today considered the Quakers as radical Puritans because they went to extremes many Puritan
convictions. They stretched the deportment of the Puritans into a "glorification of "plainness."". Faithfully they expanded the Puritan concept of a
church by the Holy Spirit to the idea of the need of the Spirit in every person. Quakers were severely persecuted in England for daring to drift so far
from orthodox Christianity. By 1680, 10,000 Quakers had been imprisoned in England and 243 had died of torture and mistreatment in jail. This fear
caused Friends to seek refuge in Rhode Island in the 1670s. In 1681, when Quaker leader William Penn parlayed a debt owed by Charles II to his

Alice Paul And The Quaker Family
Alice Paul My name is Alice Paul and I was born January 11, 1885 in Moorestown, New Jersey. I am the oldest of four children, and belong to a
Quaker family. The Quaker values that were taught to me as a child will carry into my adult years and my work. The Quakers believed in equality,
which became a criterion that guided me through the rest of my life. Along with gender equality, the Quakers believe in the need to work for the
betterment of society the importance of staying close to nature, and that all humans are worthy of respect. Some of my fellow suffragists came from a
Quaker background, including Sarah and Angelina Grimke, Lucretia Mott, and Susan B. Anthony.
When I was a child, my mother would take me to suffrage meetings, and there was where I found my passion. I believe that women and men should
be treated as equals, and this starts with the women's right to vote. At age sixteen, I entered Swarthmore College, and was at the top of my class.
Because of my hard work in the political and economic curriculum, I earned a fellowship to the New York school of Philanthropy. In 1907, I earned

Quakers As Pacifists
In navigating their wartime options, Friends of military age had to consider their identity as Quakers, as pacifists, as members of a local community of

A Quaker Book Of Wisdom
Simplicity
Simplistic living to me means to live a life free of frivolous details. Wikipedia defines simplicity as the state or quality of being simple. My husband
and I have considered adopting a more simplistic style of living for a few years now, we are more motivated now to commit to this change. We
have reached a new level of maturity discovering that less is more. I have learned that simplicity is a virtue and vital to the Quaker faith. Robert L.
Smith, author of A Quaker Book of Wisdom wrote, "A person who is preoccupied with materialistic desires is ill prepared to sit in silence with
other worshippers and listen for the still small voice of God." The Bible confirms this statement, mentioning that God's voice as quiet as a gentle
whisper. I also believe that stillness is necessary when seeking the voice of God. When you are living a busy lifestyle surrounded by material
possessions, it becomes difficult to hear what God is saying consequently making it easier to grow distant in your relationship with Him. According to
Smith, the fundamental of simplicity includes asking, "What do I need?" He later adds that, "Acquiring too much stuff can get in the way of happiness
that can obscure what is best in us, leading to boredom and emptiness," (Quaker Book of Wisdom, Smith).

Compare And Contrast Quakers And Puritans
When colonists from Northern Europe obtained land in North America, they did not only create vast settlements that traded goods between Europe and
the Americas but also organized independent churches that catered to their population. For instance, when the Puritans settled the Massachusetts Bay
in 1630, they developed their own government and rules compared to the Quakers who settled Pennsylvania in 1681. Both these colonies had many
aspects in common but due to the fact that both settlements had different beliefs, ideals, and contrasting opinions on society, they naturally separated
and created too completely different colonies. For example, John Winthrop was the minister and leader of the Puritan colony and was a strong believer
in conformity... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...
This is shown greatly in John Winthrop's city upon a hill speech because during this he states that the Puritans are above every other country and
colony by saying, "For we must consider that we shall be as a city upon a hill. The eyes of all people are upon us. So that if we shall deal falsely with
our God in this work we have undertaken, and so cause Him to withdraw His present help from us, we shall be made a story and a by–word through
the world" (Winthrop, 1630). In other words, what Winthrop is saying is that if the Puritans as a colony failed it would not only be an embarrassment
but also because they believed that God was upholding their colony they were being watched by every other country and colony. This clearly shows
that the Puritans wished to not only isolate themselves from the rest of the world but also it shows that the Puritans thought of themselves as a higher
caliber than others. This is very contrasting to the Quakers for several reasons. This is because the Quakers were accepting of all into their community
unlike the Puritans and wished to not isolate themselves from other countries and colonies but wanted to connect with them. For example, in William

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY A strategic plan has financial and other implications over the next several years of implementing the company strategies.
And strategies come in different forms and magnitudes. Since strategic plans covers a relatively long range of period, difficulties in maintaining the
organization's effort to keeping the strategic plan arise. The Quaker Oats Company began long range planning in fiscal 1965. The plans created that year
and annually thereafter were primarily numbers–oriented estimates of income and requirements of capital.

Quaker Parrots Research Paper
Also known as monk parrots or grey–breasted parrots, Quaker parrots are native to South America but have managed to make their home in some
U.S. states and European countries, due to their hardiness and ability to endure temperate climates. They measure about 12 inches from head to tail
and grow to about the same size as cockatiels. Quaker parrots are naturally green with grey chests, throats and foreheads. They also sport some blue
coloring on their primaries and tail feathers. However, you may be able to find different colored quaker parrots that have been bred specifically to
give them a blue, white or other different color instead of green.
Quaker parrots are incredibly intelligent and you can very quickly teach them how to talk. With the right training, you can even teach them to say things
at appropriate times such as only saying "Good morning" when its actually time–appropriate. Quaker parrots are noisy birds and although they usually
only communicate at a moderate volume, they will be whistling, chirping and talking all day long – definitely not a pet for those who hate excessive

Bunyan characterized them both as focusing on internal revelation and affording ministerial opportunities to women, an incomprehensible concept.
This characterization was not aided by the rise of the Proud Quakers, a splinter group who indulged in Ranter activities, such as the tendency to curse
excessively. Often utilized by Anglican ministers, the term Ranter became an epithet for slighting all dissenters. Gerrard Winstanley acknowledges that

Also when a customer tends to see the same company products everywhere and that too at a slightly elevate rate, and then the element of 'Buyers
illusion' comes into the picture. The customers tend to believe that the product is priced higher as it is superior in quality and better as compared to
other similar products priced at a lower rate.
Any company prefers to diversify and systematically target and capture certain market segments in order to provide that segment superior quality
service and kill all forms of competition from that segment. This seems to be the goal of PepsiCo too. It wants to diversify from being a supplier of

Quaker Tongue Bargainings
Is getting branded or getting a tongue boring worth being different or unique? Today, Quakers ("Friends") are considered very friendly and nice
people. In the 1600's in New England, Quakers were treated very unfairly because they were accused of many things and they were frequently
prosecuted. In the 1960's, Quakers were outlawed, imprisoned, exiled, and sometimes executed. Quakers were not always the greatest people. Quakers
would sometimes interrupt worship services, were not always truthful, and sometimes even yelled and banged pots in the streets. They did this to make
points about their religion. Sometimes, they yelled at and humiliated the people who did not agree with them. Quakers were known for calling many
people names, and stripping off their clothes in public. Puritans took action and punished the Quakers by public whippings, tongue borings,

Quakers to reject positions in the military which caused them to be imprisoned. Quakers gave women a higher status in society than other
communities. Many women were ministers and nearly half of missionaries were women (Dandelion). Women were also imprisoned for the same

Primarily the loyalty is based on perception, not tangible evidence. Here we can see how important brand equity and positioning can be to a product
that is otherwise probably on par with many of its competitors, but the message conveyed by the brand is quite different. Quaker Oats emerged from
a turn of the century merger of three milling companies over 130 years ago. It grew to become one of the top companies in the world by providing
reliable quality to its first customers. Quaker Oats has been able to build a reputation of offering healthy, wholesome breakfast foods by targeting female
supermarket customers. Although advertising has gone from a "warm, healthy breakfast" to delivering messages about "vitamins and minerals essential
to a female metabolism" (Standaert, 2003), the target market is the same. Quaker is also hoping to reach nutrition professionals and health–food
retailers. According to Indra Nooyi, Chief Executive Officer of Pepsico (parent company of Quaker Oats), they "...do not market to kids under 12..."
since they "...do not have a nutritious product..." they feel comfortable marketing to young kids (Farey–Jones, 2010). Quakers are a religious sect noted
for purity and an old–fashioned work ethic. Just the name evokes images of vast farmlands that have been worked and harvested by hand and a

William Penn was born in London, England in 1644 and eventually became a part of the Quaker sect after hearing a sermon from Thomas Loe.
Quakers, also known as the Society of Friends, is a religious belief based on Christianity and the acceptance of all walks of life and religious
views. In England, William Penn had previously been involved in sending colonists to the New World but did not travel himself. King Charles II
who had a large loan from Penn's father, settled his debt by giving Penn a large plot of land in southwest New Jersey. William Penn was officially
granted the colony of Pennsylvania on January 5, 1681. In 1682 William Penn had left England and set sail for the New World. He sailed along with
over two–thousand people on a ship named the Welcome. Penn had landed in Delaware and sailed up the Delaware River and arrived at the site where

He became a believer in what the Quakers stood for and became a part of the Quaker community. The Quakers, founded by George Fox, was based
upon simplicity, pacifism, and social and religious equality. Every man and women, no matter the race, color, ethnicity, or religious belief had the same
opportunities of fellowship and equality in the Society of Friends. They also did not impose their religion on anyone else. The Quakers, also known as
the Society of Friends, also lived by a strict moral code. They had a strong belief in keeping themselves "holy" physically, mentally and spiritually.
Their society did not condone the acts of adultery, drunkenness, foul language, gambling and other immoral acts that tainted the idea of their "City on
a Hill." Penn, upon the colonization of Pennsylvania, carefully created a code of laws with the ideals of "As long as men are good, good government

For the case Quaker Oats and Snapple, and Sony Pictures Entertainment, the strategy behind each company were relatively similar, to set foot in a

Sony's M&A style would be industry convergence due to the fact that Sony wanted to add software to its production line to create a greater value
chain as Sony believed the industry trend is to be able to offer hardware and software at the same time. By doing so, Sony decided to acquire CBS
records and Columbia Pictures. At that time, as the value of Japanese yen versus the dollar had increased a lot, therefore Sony finalized its decision
of the two acquisition very quickly. Although Sony was the first mover in its industry by investing tons of money to integrate its resources, and also
hire executives that understand the business well. However, the synergy that Sony wished to leverage through the combination of the acquired firms
in order to set the new industry standards for the future digital video technology seemed to disappear. Some of the biases that Sony had are synergy

side of the business, which lead Sony into huge losses for years after the first acquisition occurred. Through framing lock–ins that Sony perceived, it is

Compare And Contrast The Puritans And Quakers
The Puritans and the Quakers are two religious groups that played an important role in the colonization of America. Both of these groups disliked the
church of England and sought to gain freedom of worship and lifestyle. Therefore, the Puritans and the Quakers are similar to each other because they
both faced persecution and left England to go to America with the goal and hope of living the life they wanted, gain more opportunity, and to practice
their desired religion freely.
The break from the Catholic Church began when King Henry VIII came into conflict with the Pope over the divorce he wanted to obtain from his
wife Catherine of Aragon. After several years of bickering with the Papacy, Henry VIII eventually separated from the church of Rome to the church of
England. But this new entity, the church of England, was basically the Catholic Church without the Pope and the monasteries. For the rest of the reign
of Henry VIII, and that of following Tudor monarchs there would be vicious competition between the new Protestants and Catholics for supremacy.
There was also dissension among the Protestants themselves over how far the reform of the Church should go, and over the course of some years a
split began to form between the members of the Church of England.
In colonial America, two religions dominated its cultural history, the Puritans and the Quakers. Puritanism was born from the creation of a religion that
seeks to fuse and at the same time, reform, the Catholic and

Usually the seating for the meeting on worship is arranged in a circle or square. When I visited, people were seated in circle. This is to help
people both to be aware of one another and to be conscious of the fact that they are worshipping together. As soon as people were seated, there was
sudden silence for awhile. I did not understand what was going on but I just sat with them, trying to imagine what would happen next. Later I
found out that keeping silent is a way of seeking God's will in order to make people open to one another. While there was silence, I felt a little
uncomfortable because of the long silence. People may worship entirely without words, but usually there will be some brief contribution. The
silence could be broken quickly, or sometimes last for the entire meeting, which is usually an hour or so. In Quaker teaching, anyone may feel
called to speak: man, women, child, friends, or first time visitor like I was are welcome. There was a very wide variety of sources for spoken,
material (biblical or otherwise) and acceptance of them is an important part of Quaker worship. Next, The Quaker's belief also caused me significant

Reverend Samuel Kirkland, a New Light minister, had a long career as a missionary amongst Native Americans in upstate New York which began

The U.S. government had accrued a $40 million debt fighting the War of Independence, and settlers hungry for Indian land in the west would provide
a sorely needed source of income. When Henry Knox became secretary of War in 1789, he implemented a strategy which would come to be known as
"expansion with honor." According to Knox, convincing Native Americans to adopt an economy based on the traditional European model would be a
far more cost–effective way of separating Indians from their lands. Agriculture required less land than hunting (which, according to Knox and other
contemporary Euro–Americans' assumptions, was the Indians' main source of income and sustenance), and so once the Natives were settled onto
farms, they would, presumably, gladly sell the surplus lands to the federal government. Not only would the United States gain Indian lands without
waging war but, Knox argued, it change would be beneficial for Native Americans. According to popular thought of the time, all societies and cultures

What Are The Religious Beliefs Of The Quakers?
The Religious Society of Friends, better known as the Quakers, is a Christian society who believes God in is the presence of each and every person.
The Religious group was founded in the mid–17th century by George Fox in England. Eventually the group came to America for a better life and
religious opportunities.
In England, the Quakers beliefs were thought of as dangerous and devilish. Their beliefs were to different from England's version of orthodox
Christianity so England started persecuting the group. After 10,000 Quakers had been thrown in to jail and 243 had died from the torture in the jails,

The Early Quakers

"George was born to strict religious parents in Fenny Drayton, Leicestershire. George was self–educated and attended parish church regularly. He
became dissatisfied with the religious practices and beliefs, and decided to leave. He then came to the belief that people could have a personal
experience of God, which he called the 'Inner Light' in 1647. George started to travel all around the country, preaching and converting people to
'Friends of the Light'" (History of Quakers).
"By 1652 George Fox had been travelling in the Midlands and North of England, turning people into the Quaker faith. George then met James Nayler,
William Dewsbury and Richard Farnsworth, many of the important early Quakers who would help and spread the religion all around. In Spring of
1652, George climbed Pendle Hill in Lancashire and had a vision of people waiting to be brought in to the light. This helped George Fox's preaching,
and over the years there was around 50,000 Quakers and they were still increasing over the years" (History of Quakers).

then able to travel to Birmingham, England, to study social work, which resulted in her receiving a Ph.D. from the University of Pennsylvania in
sociology, and by 1928 had acquired three law degrees. While in England, however, she went to listen to Christabel Pankhurst, daughter ofEmmeline
Pankhurst who was a co–founder of the Women's Social and Political Union (WSPU), of which Alice and her mother had often spoken of. The

The Quaker Practice : Spiritual Baptism
Thus, being a member of my Quaker in–group involves being prepared to right this particular misconception and also being willing to explain what
Quakerism in fact is. This, I think, is what makes Quakers different from most other religious denominations in America–we frequently have to explain
who we are and where we came from (what we believe) *"What we believe" goes better with "practices" below. This creates a strong sense of group
identity, for I have to know and be able to explain my in–group's history and practices at any given moment. With these explanations, I am constantly
reminded that my denomination is unique and that I should carry my membership with pride. The characteristic of little to no symbolism leads to the
next foundational Quaker practice: spiritual baptism. Quakers believe that water baptism is a public way to express your decision to follow Christ
and that the practice is not wrong, but also not necessary for one to be saved. Spiritual baptism derives from the Bible verse, "I baptize you with
water for repentance. But after me comes one who is more powerful than I, whose sandals I am not worthy to carry. He will baptize you with the
Holy Spirit and fire" (New International Version, Matt. 3.11). This verse was spoken by John the Baptist, a man who frequently baptized people in the
Jordan River. He was describing to those listening that after the coming of Jesus, there would be a greater baptism than that which used water–a baptism

Although there were many early leaders in the movement, such as the figure James Nayler, the Quakers were primarily founded around the teachings
and leadership of the singular figure–George Fox. As a young man, George Fox believed that he received divine revelations or "openings" from God
calling for him to minister and teach amongst the people of England. For Fox, these revelations became a commission, a belief that he had to fulfill the
"work unto which he [God] had appointed me." Throughout the 1640s, the foundations of Fox's beliefs, which would later be classified as Quakerism,
spread throughout many parts of northern and central England. The adoption of Quaker beliefs became increasingly prevalent in the towns and villages

Quakerism was founded by George Fox around the time of the English Civil War (6142–1651), as did many other denominations of christianity.

can speak to thy condition" (as quoted). His belief became strong enough to convince him that one could have a direct experience with Jesus without
the aid of the Church.
On Pendle Hill in Lancashire, England, Fox had a vision. "The Lord let me see in what places he had a great people to be gathered" (Quoted). After

Quaker Martyr Leader

  • 1. Quaker Martyr Leader Name of leader: Mary Barrett Dyer Years lived: 1611–1660 Why did you choose this leader? I chose this leader because she was the earliest recorded Quaker on your list and made me curious. She was also a Quaker Martyr and I wanted to know the circumstances of her death. Another reason was that due to the fact she lived so long ago, I wanted to know how much information about her I was going to be able to find. What is this leader best known for? In other words, why is he or she famous as a Quaker leader? She was known to have stud up to the Puritans of the time and protest a new anti–Quakers law.

Is there anything this leader did or said with which you do not agree or which goes against your own values? She was not a peacemaker because of her openness against the Puritans and their law to ban Quakers from the colony, but I admire her determination and sacrifice. It takes a strong person with strong believes to follow through it all until the end. Would you say this person was a servant–leader? Use specific examples, both from your research on this leader and Reading 2. Empathy was the driving force of her cause. Everyone has the right of Religious Freedom hence listen to his or her own light that is God and act according to His will. Mary also had the servant–leader characteristic of persuasion. It took the very act of her sacrificing her own life for people to finally see her way.

  • 2. The Colonial Settlements Of The Quakers This paper will explore the history of the colonial settlements of the Quakers, who are also known as the Society of Friends, who settled in New Jersey and Pennsylvania in colonial times. The history surrounding the establishment and growth of the Quaker colonies of West Jersey and Pennsylvania will be discussed. William Penn's efforts in establishing the colonies of West Jersey andPennsylvania were paramount to Quakers immigrating to America. John Fenwick also played a major role in founding the colony of West Jersey, which is now known asNew Jersey and the later immigration of Quakers to Pennsylvania. The abolitionist efforts of the Quakers in their fight against slavery, their equal treatment of slaves and the assistance that they provided to slaves will also be discussed. Quakers provided shelter, financial support and harbored many slaves so that they could avoid capture by their owners. Quakers were a large part of the abolitionist movement in the colonies while slavery was legal. Many Quakers played a role in the Underground Railroad, which assisted slaves in obtaining their freedom and avoiding capture. The terms "Quaker" and Society of Friends are interchangeable and will be used throughout this paper accordingly. The History of Quakers in New Jersey and Pennsylvania and Their Role in the Anti–Slavery Movement The abolition campaign began in England in 1657 by the founder of the Quakers, George Fox. Fox implored all members of the Society of ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...
  • 3. Emily Howland's Role In The Quakers And Education Gradually, the Quakers started to rigorously promote education programs and played an important role in raising the literacy rates among back Northern blacks and raised funds to establish schools in the South, educating hundreds of blacks. Hugh Barbour and J. William Frost provide statistics in their book, The Quakers, stating that, in 1866, Quakers were able to open nine new schools in Columbus, Mississippi and later expanded to Macon, Mississippi (198). Emily Howland was an abolitionist, educator, and a suffragist born into a family of Quakers in Sherwood, New York, in 1827. Her parents, Slocum and Hannah Howland, played prominent roles in the Society of Friends. Following in their footsteps, she played an active role in trying to abolish slave and became a teacher in a school for colored girls from 1857 to 1859. In 1864, she worked in a large camp, educating the freed slaves in Arlington, Washington. She taught them to read and write and, lin 1867, went on to open anAfrican American in Heathsville, Virginia.

  • 4. Quaker Women in American Colonies Essay "Quaker Women in the American Colonies" During the colonial period, women were considered inferior to men and "nothing more than servants for their husbands." During the eighteenth century, unmarried Quaker women were the first to vote, stand up in court, and evangelize; although Quaker women enjoyed rights that women today take for granted, they were most known for their religious radicalism. According to Rufus Jones, a professor at Harvard, the Quakers "felt, as their own testimony plainly shows, that they were not solitary adventurers, but that God was pushing them out to be the bearers of a new and mighty word of Life which was to remake the world, and that the whole group behind them was in some sense embodied in them." Women... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ... Margaret Fell Fox was a devoutly religious woman and a champion for the rights of Quakers; she worked tirelessly to ensure their civil liberties. Margaret Fell Fox never made it to the American colonies but her preaching, religious convictions, and continued resolve after years in prison, changed the face of women who would travel to the New World as Quakers. Mary Dyer stood up at Anne Hutchinson's trial and walked out with Anne Hutchinson, only to return as a thorn in the sides of John Endicott and John Winthrop. Mary Barrett was born England but immigrated to the Massachusetts with her husband William Dyer in 1635; both of them were Puritans. During the trial of Anne Hutchinson, both William and Mary Dyer were open supporters of Anne Hutchinson. Although William Dyer held positions of "high importance," he was relieved of duty and disarmed, along with other followers of Anne Hutchinson. When Mary Dyer followed Anne Hutchinson out of the Church, she and her husband were also banished; there was a scandal concerning the death of a stillborn child Mary Dyer had given birth to and after the inquest, Governor John Winthrop said that Mary Dyer "was divinely punished for this sinful heresy by being delivered of a stillborn 'monster'."

  • 5. Quakers Beliefs The Protestant Reformation often gets the lion's share of attention when discussing religious reform and renewal during the Early Modern period. However, to state that the Reformation was the only significant shift in the ideology and practice of Christianity would be to greatly undersell the importance of a myriad of religious reformers that denounced the decrepit and outdated relationship between mainstream religious practice and God. For this new wave of religious reformers, the traditions of the mainstream Church (whether Protestant or Catholic) were getting in the way of godly men and women forging a personal relationship with their savior, one in which the individual is brought into the grace of God through a true lasting connection... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ... Breaking from Protestant tradition, in which church services tended to be muted and formal, Methodist services often included "crying, moaning, and shouting"8. For Methodists, this expression of true rapturous love for God was an outgrowth of the great personal love each person had for his or her creator; for Methodists, loudly and passionately expressing your religious feelings was to embrace God with all of one's being. This was a common thread among many reformers during the time period: the idea that the church services being practiced by the mainstream Protestant church were too far removed from the passionate love of God that many believers felt from within their hearts. Methodism and its focus on personal relationships and contact with God would prove very popular among disaffected Protestants, and would eventually become among the most well–known and populous Protestant ...

  • 6. The Quakers And The Religious Society Of Friends The Quakers were first founded in the mid–1600s in England and were formerly known as The Religious Society of Friends. They were a very simple and devoted democratic group of people. When they arrived in America, they began to try to settle in Massachusetts. Massachusetts was also where the Puritan colonists had been settling and because they (the Quakers) threatened the Puritan's beliefs in America they gave them and other opposing religions, such as the Baptists, harsh punishments for inhabiting their land which included hanging, fines, whipping, and banishing the people from Massachusetts. The Quakers later moved their efforts to the new land of Pennsylvania. They established their land on "the equality of all persons (including women, blacks, and Indians) before God." They proved this stance of equality by being the "first group of whites to repudiate slavery" of Africans. They also purchased their found land from the Indians that owned it. These actions show that the Quakers truly lived in equality. "Religious freedom was Penn's most fundamental principle." The Quakers never gave an established church for Pennsylvania and allowed almost all religious freedom in its land. Although the Quakers were lenient on race, gender, and religious preference they did have a "strict code of personal morality." They "prohibited swearing, drunkenness, and adultery" among many other activities that they thought were immoral. Many of their beliefs spread throughout America and has ...

  • 7. The Perseviction Of The Quakers In England The Quakers formed in England in 1652. Many people today considered the Quakers as radical Puritans because they went to extremes many Puritan convictions. They stretched the deportment of the Puritans into a "glorification of "plainness."". Faithfully they expanded the Puritan concept of a church by the Holy Spirit to the idea of the need of the Spirit in every person. Quakers were severely persecuted in England for daring to drift so far from orthodox Christianity. By 1680, 10,000 Quakers had been imprisoned in England and 243 had died of torture and mistreatment in jail. This fear caused Friends to seek refuge in Rhode Island in the 1670s. In 1681, when Quaker leader William Penn parlayed a debt owed by Charles II to his father into a charter ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...
  • 8. Alice Paul And The Quaker Family Alice Paul My name is Alice Paul and I was born January 11, 1885 in Moorestown, New Jersey. I am the oldest of four children, and belong to a Quaker family. The Quaker values that were taught to me as a child will carry into my adult years and my work. The Quakers believed in equality, which became a criterion that guided me through the rest of my life. Along with gender equality, the Quakers believe in the need to work for the betterment of society the importance of staying close to nature, and that all humans are worthy of respect. Some of my fellow suffragists came from a Quaker background, including Sarah and Angelina Grimke, Lucretia Mott, and Susan B. Anthony. When I was a child, my mother would take me to suffrage meetings, and there was where I found my passion. I believe that women and men should be treated as equals, and this starts with the women's right to vote. At age sixteen, I entered Swarthmore College, and was at the top of my class. Because of my hard work in the political and economic curriculum, I earned a fellowship to the New York school of Philanthropy. In 1907, I earned my Master's degree in sociology from the University of Pennsylvania. Then, I decided to travel to England to work on another fellowship, social work. I eventually lost interest, and I became a "heart and soul convert" of the Women's Social and Political union in 1909. They were known as the most radical suffrage group in Britain. They were sometimes arrested for their violent ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...
  • 9. Quakers As Pacifists In navigating their wartime options, Friends of military age had to consider their identity as Quakers, as pacifists, as members of a local community of believers and of a national community of service. The United States' intense effort to raise a national army to fight the Great War forced many Friends to grapple with, likely for the first time in their young lives, what it meant to be a member of a pacifist organization. This challenged them to define their beliefs and evaluate their relationship to the religious community and the nation of which they were a part. However diverse their paths of service, these individuals are united by their drive to meaningfully contribute to institutions, communities, and ideals that they saw as larger than ...

  • 10. A Quaker Book Of Wisdom Simplicity Simplistic living to me means to live a life free of frivolous details. Wikipedia defines simplicity as the state or quality of being simple. My husband and I have considered adopting a more simplistic style of living for a few years now, we are more motivated now to commit to this change. We have reached a new level of maturity discovering that less is more. I have learned that simplicity is a virtue and vital to the Quaker faith. Robert L. Smith, author of A Quaker Book of Wisdom wrote, "A person who is preoccupied with materialistic desires is ill prepared to sit in silence with other worshippers and listen for the still small voice of God." The Bible confirms this statement, mentioning that God's voice as quiet as a gentle whisper. I also believe that stillness is necessary when seeking the voice of God. When you are living a busy lifestyle surrounded by material possessions, it becomes difficult to hear what God is saying consequently making it easier to grow distant in your relationship with Him. According to Smith, the fundamental of simplicity includes asking, "What do I need?" He later adds that, "Acquiring too much stuff can get in the way of happiness that can obscure what is best in us, leading to boredom and emptiness," (Quaker Book of Wisdom, Smith). With two children, I would agree that an access amount of toys, clothes and other frivolous ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...

  • 11. Compare And Contrast Quakers And Puritans When colonists from Northern Europe obtained land in North America, they did not only create vast settlements that traded goods between Europe and the Americas but also organized independent churches that catered to their population. For instance, when the Puritans settled the Massachusetts Bay in 1630, they developed their own government and rules compared to the Quakers who settled Pennsylvania in 1681. Both these colonies had many aspects in common but due to the fact that both settlements had different beliefs, ideals, and contrasting opinions on society, they naturally separated and created too completely different colonies. For example, John Winthrop was the minister and leader of the Puritan colony and was a strong believer in conformity... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ... This is shown greatly in John Winthrop's city upon a hill speech because during this he states that the Puritans are above every other country and colony by saying, "For we must consider that we shall be as a city upon a hill. The eyes of all people are upon us. So that if we shall deal falsely with our God in this work we have undertaken, and so cause Him to withdraw His present help from us, we shall be made a story and a by–word through the world" (Winthrop, 1630). In other words, what Winthrop is saying is that if the Puritans as a colony failed it would not only be an embarrassment but also because they believed that God was upholding their colony they were being watched by every other country and colony. This clearly shows that the Puritans wished to not only isolate themselves from the rest of the world but also it shows that the Puritans thought of themselves as a higher caliber than others. This is very contrasting to the Quakers for several reasons. This is because the Quakers were accepting of all into their community unlike the Puritans and wished to not isolate themselves from other countries and colonies but wanted to connect with them. For example, in William Penn's letter to the Native Americans he states that it would ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...
  • 12. Quakers Vs Puritans Despite the fact that both Puritans and Quakers are Protestant Christians, the Quakers were unwelcome in the Puritan society of New England. A University of California at Los Angeles Ph. D. candidate in the Department of History, Carla Gardina Pestana provides an explanation as to why these Christians were frowned upon in the society. In her article "The City upon a Hill under Siege: The Puritan Perception of the Quaker Threat to Massachusetts Bay, 1656–1661", Pestana gives a detailed analysis of why the Quakers beliefs were seen as a threat to the Puritan society. This article was created to inform its readers about the ideological conflict between the Puritans and Quakers. Pestana defends her assertion that, "The reaction of the Puritan ...

Pestana stays on topic and she does not digress, which makes it easy to follow and understand. This article is important because it raises questions about certain topics such as the, "suspicious similarities between Quakers and Catholics" (Pestana, 339). Because Pestana notes the Puritans believed that the Quakers were affiliated with other religious and social groups, the readers question the similarities and look for connections.

  • 14. Quaker Parrots Research Paper Also known as monk parrots or grey–breasted parrots, Quaker parrots are native to South America but have managed to make their home in some U.S. states and European countries, due to their hardiness and ability to endure temperate climates. They measure about 12 inches from head to tail and grow to about the same size as cockatiels. Quaker parrots are naturally green with grey chests, throats and foreheads. They also sport some blue coloring on their primaries and tail feathers. However, you may be able to find different colored quaker parrots that have been bred specifically to give them a blue, white or other different color instead of green. Quaker parrots are incredibly intelligent and you can very quickly teach them how to talk. With the right training, you can even teach them to say things at appropriate times such as only saying "Good morning" when its actually time–appropriate. Quaker parrots are noisy birds and although they usually only communicate at a moderate volume, they will be whistling, chirping and talking all day long – definitely not a pet for those who hate excessive noise. ...

Relying on the continuing inner revelations of God, they had been set apart "from the unrighteous world...[and] are heirs of a world in which there is not end." The Quakers were to an appointed people, called upon by God to carry out spiritual warfare against "the Prince of this World, the Beast and His seat." Although they Quakers were set apart as spiritual warriors, one could become a part of the community by accepting God's revelation of the inner light. The Quakers believed that "none are shut out by him [God] before they were born into the world." In this way, the Quakers were a corporate body who allowed a degree of inclusiveness to those who accepted God's revelation. At the same time, the Quakers identified and distance themselves from the ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ... Specifically, the Quakers were ardent about distancing themselves from the Ranters. The Ranters, as one will see later, were considered the 'scum' of the dissenters, viewed as sexually promiscuous, sinful, and drunkards. Some people came to the associate the Quakers with Ranterism. The writer John Bunyan characterized them both as focusing on internal revelation and affording ministerial opportunities to women, an incomprehensible concept. This characterization was not aided by the rise of the Proud Quakers, a splinter group who indulged in Ranter activities, such as the tendency to curse excessively. Often utilized by Anglican ministers, the term Ranter became an epithet for slighting all dissenters. Gerrard Winstanley acknowledges that the Digger movement was "slandered with the Ranting action." In utilizing this term, Anglican ministers sought to challenge the legitimacy and morality of the dissenter movements, defining them in terms of ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...

Also when a customer tends to see the same company products everywhere and that too at a slightly elevate rate, and then the element of 'Buyers illusion' comes into the picture. The customers tend to believe that the product is priced higher as it is superior in quality and better as compared to other similar products priced at a lower rate. Any company prefers to diversify and systematically target and capture certain market segments in order to provide that segment superior quality service and kill all forms of competition from that segment. This seems to be the goal of PepsiCo too. It wants to diversify from being a supplier of just carbonated drinks and branch into fruit drinks. To do this the merger was the ideal option, because along with the Quaker company they are also buying its goodwill and market share. This way they can systematically cater to every possible need of the sports segment right from the choice of drinks to providing snacks. This brings to the role of regulatory bodies, which are created to prevent the dealings between companies, which might prove detrimental to consumers in the long run. They prevent tie–ups between companies that would kill competition and also prevent price discrimination. On a final note, acquisitions and mergers have their own positive as well as flip sides.

It grew to become one of the top companies in the world by providing reliable quality to its first customers. Quaker Oats has been able to build a reputation of offering healthy, wholesome breakfast foods by targeting female supermarket customers. Although advertising has gone from a "warm, healthy breakfast" to delivering messages about "vitamins and minerals essential to a female metabolism" (Standaert, 2003), the target market is the same.

  • 26. Compare And Contrast The Puritans And Quakers The Puritans and the Quakers are two religious groups that played an important role in the colonization of America. Both of these groups disliked the church of England and sought to gain freedom of worship and lifestyle. Therefore, the Puritans and the Quakers are similar to each other because they both faced persecution and left England to go to America with the goal and hope of living the life they wanted, gain more opportunity, and to practice their desired religion freely. The break from the Catholic Church began when King Henry VIII came into conflict with the Pope over the divorce he wanted to obtain from his wife Catherine of Aragon. After several years of bickering with the Papacy, Henry VIII eventually separated from the church of Rome to the church of England. But this new entity, the church of England, was basically the Catholic Church without the Pope and the monasteries. For the rest of the reign of Henry VIII, and that of following Tudor monarchs there would be vicious competition between the new Protestants and Catholics for supremacy. There was also dissension among the Protestants themselves over how far the reform of the Church should go, and over the course of some years a split began to form between the members of the Church of England.

This is to help people both to be aware of one another and to be conscious of the fact that they are worshipping together. As soon as people were seated, there was sudden silence for awhile. I did not understand what was going on but I just sat with them, trying to imagine what would happen next. Later I found out that keeping silent is a way of seeking God's will in order to make people open to one another. While there was silence, I felt a little uncomfortable because of the long silence. People may worship entirely without words, but usually there will be some brief contribution. The silence could be broken quickly, or sometimes last for the entire meeting, which is usually an hour or so.

The U.S. government had accrued a $40 million debt fighting the War of Independence, and settlers hungry for Indian land in the west would provide a sorely needed source of income. When Henry Knox became secretary of War in 1789, he implemented a strategy which would come to be known as "expansion with honor." According to Knox, convincing Native Americans to adopt an economy based on the traditional European model would be a far more cost–effective way of separating Indians from their lands. Agriculture required less land than hunting (which, according to Knox and other contemporary Euro–Americans' assumptions, was the Indians' main source of income and sustenance), and so once the Natives were settled onto farms, they would, presumably, gladly sell the surplus lands to the federal government. Not only would the United States gain Indian lands without waging war but, Knox argued, it change would be beneficial for Native Americans.

This, I think, is what makes Quakers different from most other religious denominations in America–we frequently have to explain who we are and where we came from (what we believe) *"What we believe" goes better with "practices" below.

With these explanations, I am constantly reminded that my denomination is unique and that I should carry my membership with pride. The characteristic of little to no symbolism leads to the next foundational Quaker practice: spiritual baptism.

He will baptize you with the Holy Spirit and fire" (New International Version, Matt. 3.11). This verse was spoken by John the Baptist, a man who frequently baptized people in the Jordan River.
