The Quakers' Rebellious Origins
How could walking naked through town be seen as religious? What about digging up a corpse? Or bursting into church services to cause mayhem?
In this episode, Dr Erica Canela takes Don back to the first years of Quakerism to explore where this religion came from, and how it ended up in the United States.
Erica is the author of Zealous: A Darker Side of the Early Quakers.
Edited by Aidan Lonergan. Produced by Sophie Gee. Senior Producer was Freddy Chick.
