Adult Schools
< back to panels
During the 19th century, Quakers in the big cities became aware that many men and women were unable to read the bible. They founded first day schools that were to provide a means of sharing spiritual experience in a situation of openness and equality. With the rise of education for all, the membership of the schools declined rapidly during the 20th century.
