For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith -- and this not from yourselves, it is the gift of God -- not by works, so that no one can boast. -- Ephesians 2:8-9
What is a Christian?
Friends Heritage
The name "friends" comes from Jesus' words in John 15:12-15:
"You are my friends if you do whatever I command."
The name Quaker, originally an insult, became a symbol of integrity as Quakers were known for:
Support for religious and political freedom (including women ministers), opposition to slavery
honesty in business, humane treatment of criminals & compassion for the mentally ill and
opposition to war, but aid to war victims and others in distress.
