Thank you!
I've always admired Thomas Paine and I appreciate that he was raised with Quaker values. Quakers believe that we are all equal. English Quakers would not tip their hats to royalty, were jailed for their beliefs, and demonstrated this in their silent worship where anyone could stand and share their inspired message.
