About this title

Synopsis:

This book is a history of young adult Quakers (also known as the Religious Society of Friends) in Canada from 1875-1996. On the basis of extensive archival and printed sources it traces the story of Canadian Young Friends from their emergence as a group in 1875 to 1996. The narrative is placed on a background of Canadian social history. Often changes in the larger society were reflected in the small Canadian Society of Friends. The story is also placed in the context of worldwide Quaker developments. This is a book primarily addressed to Canadian Quakers, but of interest to all persons interested in Canadian religious history.
