Two of our Western Friends, Marge and Carl Abbott, long-time members of Multnomah Monthly Meeting in Portland, Oregon, have teamed up to offer a book providing a clear, simple, and accessible overview of the Society of Friends.

This documentary is intended for a popular audience and is spreading the Quaker message where it most needs to be heard.
