I am writing a paper comparing the similiarities between Early American Quakers (Georger Fox, William Penn) to modern day Pentecostals. Does anyone have any info on this? I have found some interesting things, but I know there are some who are way smarter than me on here...

Here are some points I have begun to make:

*Early Quakers and modern Pentecostals both felt that their “religion” went beyond the confines of a Sunday morning worship service.
*Early Quakers and modern Pentecostals put a strong reliance of prayer.
*Early Quakers and modern Pentecostals both have (had) an outward expression of the presence of the Lord (i.e, lift hands, ‘quaking’, glossololia)
*Both have been scorned by society (Current Pentecostals have not had their tongues bored, however after the fact that Sarah Palin was said to be an Assembly of God Pentecostal, she suffered some negative publicity for it)
*Both are viewed by society to be extreme (fanatical) in their views



Any websites or links would be helpful...

I have done this in a brief comparision of the early Radical Reformers and the modern Pentecostal movement. It was published in the Pentecostal Herald in 2006. The Quackers are often included in the Anabaptist/Radical Reformers.
