Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the historical grievances faced by the Quaker community in England, specifically concerning church rates, which were mandatory payments for the upkeep of local parish churches. The author traces the evolution of this law from its medieval origins, when church attendance was mandatory and religious uniformity was enforced, to its gradual modification in the face of growing religious diversity. The book also examines the strategies employed by Quakers to resist these payments, including legal challenges, imprisonment, and the establishment of their own parallel system of worship and community support. Through the presentation of numerous case studies, the author sheds light on the personal sacrifices and unwavering commitment of individual Quakers who endured persecution for their beliefs. Ultimately, this book serves as a testament to the power of religious conscience and the ongoing struggle for the separation of church and state.
