Protestant denomination started by George Fox who believed that a person should be guided
by the Holy Spirit in silent meditation.
The informal but acceptable name applied to the Religious Society of Friends. An
Englishman, George Fox, claimed a religious experience in the 1640s that led him to the "Inner Light" and
began a movement that objected to the accepted Anglican emphasis on ritual liturgy.
In an English court, Fox was dubbed a "Quaker" because of his agitation. Quakers meet weekly but recognise no rank of clergy.
Quakers do not celebrate the Sacraments and do not have an ordained ministry. Their meetings for worship are informal and those present are free to contribute prayer, reading or reflection.
