Don ;r know how deep it is. Thomas Merton tried out the Quakers and enjoyed the silence. Then some woman in the congregation felt moved to speak, and the silence ended---for a long while.

Did some study of the Camisards (French Quakers). They had a theological seminary (so to speak) near Angiers, France. Penn went to school here.

Louis hated this group in particular. Even today the number of Protestants in this part of France is far below the percentage found elsewhere.
