The influence of Quakers, or Friends, a dynamic Christian group of religious movements grounded in the belief that “the light within” or “that of God in every one” has had, and has, a profound influence on the world in which we all live.

Refusal to participate in war, plain dress, refusal to swear oaths, and opposition to slavery are core manifestations reflecting emotional purity and the light of God.

Barclays, Bethlehem Steel, Lloyds Bank, C&J Clark, Cadbury are all Quaker companies, as well as being at the center of founding Amnesty International, American Friends Service Committee, Johns Hopkins University, Greenpeace, and Oxfam.
