Quakers....what a nice bunch of folks to have originally landed upon our shores...and a good philosophy that emphasized strongly the separation of church and state , something a large portion of the world has yet to discover for themselves.

Think Jefferson did say once if he were to choose a sect of Christness it would be to become a Quaker ...of course Jefferson would be one of those to be drawn to the idea of finding some light within on his own, having so many unique realizations and revelations from out of his own explorations.

Weren't they originally calling themselves "The Children of Light "?

It was certainly an exciting time and brave new world wasn't it then ? It is a good thing to think of oneself as being friends with "truth" , rather than those thinking of themselves as some supreme arbiters of it .
