During the 1600s, the Quakers of the middle colonies believed that
women should not be part of the church.
all people should be Quakers.
church rituals were not very important.
the church should control the government.
women were very much part of the church -- Quakers believed in equality between the sexes. They accepted all faiths. Sacraments were important but they were all internal -- not outward rituals. They did not want a Theocracy..
