    I was just reading an article on www.ivorcasey.blogspot.com about Quakerism and its foundations in Ireland. I really hadn't been informed about them much before but I found this article a bit of an eye opener for me to pursue more information on them. I've already ordered one of the books he suggests on them at the bottom of the article. It appears they were once quite big here but have now reduced quite a lot. Are there any Quakers on the boards here and have your Quaker roots gone back as far you can remember or did you or your family convert in recent times? I get the impression they are most peaceful society.

    If you are in Dublin you can visit the Meeting House on Eustace Street beside the IFI. As far as I know, the range of beliefs within Quakerism can vary quite widely between individuals. As for being a "peaceful society" you may wish to read up on the roll Quakers played in Conscientious Objection. Some of these men were very principled and very brave in the face of the treatment they received.
