The A to Z of the Friends (Quakers)

Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych (dostawa przed świętami) Although relatively few in number-there are only a few hundred thousand members worldwide-the Religious Society of Friends has had an unusually strong impact.

Yet, while widely known and admired,...
