Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book explores the long-running conflict between the Quakers, a Christian denomination grounded in the belief that war is sinful, and the clergy of the Church of England, who have historically collected tithesâ"a form of taxâ"from non-members as well as members to fund their ministry. The author, analyzing published letters and other documents from the 17th and 18th centuries, concludes that the clergyâs collection of tithesâ"which the Quakers equate to the financing of warâ"is both unscriptural and unjust. The author ultimately argues that a fuller understanding of the Quakers' pacifist and anti-war principles should lead to greater religious tolerance and dialogue between the two groups.
