I sometimes say to non-Quaker friends that we have the same variation in our membership and personality types as any other social group. Recently one such friend said that the Quakers she knew (thankfully, not just me!) were more serious people and more concerned about social issues than the average. She put this down to the fact that those she knew had actively chosen to belong to the Society rather than just ending up there by parental lottery, as it were. I think it's more that she is more serious and socially concerned than average and has friends a bit like her!Lightlyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02942760515365963096noreply@blogger.com
