Zealous: A Darker Side of the Early Quakers
2 - 23 April 2026, Online
In this course we will explore the convincement of early Quakers during the political and social upheaval of the English Civil Wars and the execution of King Charles I. What effect did this context have on the fledgling faith and its membership?
Participants will gain a greater understanding of the contemporary political challenges, social structures, and popular beliefs which shaped the early Quaker movement in the mid-seventeenth century and the course these developments set for future generations of Quakerism.
This course is divided into four sessions over the course of four weeks, each with online discussion forums for participants to engage with another and share their comments, questions, and reactions with the course facilitator.
Live sessions will take place on Zoom every Thursday at 19:00-20:30 (UK time)
