In August 2012, Muller Quaker Dairy broke ground on what is to be one of the largest yogurt manufacturing plants in the United States, expected to employee 186 people.
Organizations affected by the apparent policy change include Oxfam, Save the Children, Doctors Without Borders, Terre des Hommes, Handicap International and the Religious Society of Friends(a Quaker organization).
In the 17th century, Pilgrims, Puritans, and Quakers fleeing religious persecution in Europe brought with them plowshares, guns, and domesticated animals like cows and pigs.
Thus the Quakers experienced savage persecution at the hands of the authorities in seventeenth-century England, when many of them were imprisoned solely because of their avowal of their religious beliefs.
Accepting the award, Deller dedicated it to"everyone who cycles in London, everyone who looks after wildlife and bats, the Quaker movement and everyone I have worked with".
Perhaps the king was glad to have a place where religious and political outsiders(like the Quakers, or the Whigs, who wanted more influence for the people's representatives) could have their own place, far away from England.
He seems sincerely to have desired toleration for dissenters, and maybe even for Catholics, but the parliament with which he had to work proved to be predominantly Anglican and increasingly hostile to the Presbyterians, Baptists, Quakers and other nonconformists, who made up a sizeable minority of the population.
