| Zusammenfassung: | The historical perception of the Society of Friends, commonly called Quakers, as a fringe element in the seventeenth century Puritan movement, as well as its presence and active engagement with the Korean government over issues of peace, pacifism, and conscientious objection, raise the question of both the religion’s status in Korea and what in scholarly discourse is called a new religion. The article discusses the definition of new religions (aka new religious movements), herein defined as religious groups that exist with neither social nor cultural continuity with the dominant religion(s) of whatever culture they may be found in. Given that definition, Quakers are found to be a new religion in Korea. |
