Quaker

The Quakers originated in England in the mid 17th century. They rebelled against the hierarchy and government control of the Anglican church, and began meeting in homes or buildings without steeples, waiting upon God silently to make His presence felt and heard. Any person could be called by God to rise and preach upon any occasion of worship. They were persecuted in England before finding refuge in the American colonies.
