[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]A dear friend of my family, the late George Willoughby, formerly of Central Philadelphia Meeting, called quaker schools "our outreach program to the rich." This remains sadly accurate.

I find it depressing myself, that my religion's primary impact upon society boils down to teaching a bunch of lobbyist and investment bankers' kids about silent meeting and the inner light within them. It's not like that lesson seems to be sinking in.

Seriously, fellow Quakers, remember how George Fox disrupted church services and refused to comply with English courts? Remember civil disobedience? How can you stand by and let our religion be reduced to this crap?

I do seriously wonder this... It's one reason I don't go to meeting.

That's a choice the denomination has made. Certain denominations (catholics/baptists/methodists) tend to focus on making quality education accessible. Others (quakers/Episcopalians) focus on educating the elite.  [/quote]
