The Religious Society of Friends have long been associated with the
cause for peace. Across the world this small community has worked
tirelessly in the interest of conflict resolution and no more so
than in Ireland where peace has been especially elusive. As a
branch of the Protestant faith it is impressive that Quakers have
been so influential in the mediation process given the overtly
religious dimension to that historical conflict. Charting the
evolution of Quakerism in Ireland this book offers their unique
'peace principle' as the foundation for this success. Rather than
become victims of the religious discord that Irish history has
often witnessed, through pacifism Quakers were actually able to
enhance their position and become one of that nation's most
respected communities. Focusing upon significant moments of
distress in Irish history, the analysis presents new perspectives
on well known events that should be especially useful for those
interested in the impact that ordinary people can make on national
politics. In broader terms it should also be of interest to those
who are concerned with how Ireland was able to achieve peace.
