Synopsis

Quakers in Bolivia: The Early History of Bolivian Friends takes us back to a century ago when the Quaker community started in Bolivia. Condori Mamani shows the life of the pioneer missionaries in the lands where protestant Christians were hated, mistreated, and sometimes punished. This remarkable history brings the holiness, sacrifice, and dedication of the Quaker missionaries and Bolivian founders alive as inspiration to us in our lives today. Then the author brings our understanding up to contemporary times by describing her personal story of growing up a Friend in Bolivia.
