@quakers I found this really interesting article in wikipedia, about #german impact on #quakerism : "1688 Germantown Quaker Petition Against Slavery: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1688_Germantown_Quaker_Petition_Against_Slavery #quakerhistory

@quakers I spotted George Keith yesterday. He also proselytized in Germany. But it's completely unknown here (i think). #Quaker #quakerhistory #QuakerInGermany

Ich lass die Woche in #DasCafe in #Krefeld ausklinken, und lese noch eines der wenigen deutschsprachigen #Bücher zuende, das sich mit #Quakerhistory beschäftigt.

@SeumanOtwal @quakers I think every New Meeting goes through this process: it gathers the existing, bundles it and creates something new. The burning glass is in us when we put our lives under the light. And it's in the group when we respond to that from God. 4/4

@SeumanOtwal @quakers I think the picture is incomplete. The roots are misappropriated. To me, the #QuakerHistory looks like an hourglass: wide at the bottom and wide at the top. In the middle are the early friends, catching the light like a burning glass. 3/4

@SeumanOtwal @quakers #QuakerHistory is always presented as a tree with the top getting wider and wider. 2/4

Ich lese gerade DAS #Buch "Das #Quäkertum in Deutschland" von #ClausBernet ( https://www.verlagdrkovac.de/978-3-8300-8927-8.htm ). Die Widmung ist etwas ungewöhnlich. #quakerhistory

Hello new world. A bit about my book about a virus (not that one). The Empress and the English Doctor (Oneworld 2022) explains how in 1768 Catherine the Great had herself and her son inoculated against #smallpox by a Quaker doctor from Essex. She wanted to protect her son, prove the power of the technology, and promote it throughout Russia. It was shortlisted for the Pushkin House Book Prize 2022.
