<p>How could walking naked through town be seen as religious? What about digging up a corpse? Or bursting into church services to cause mayhem?</p>

<p>Erica is the author of <em>Zealous: A Darker Side of the Early Quakers.</em></p>
<p>Edited by Aidan Lonergan. Produced by Sophie Gee. Senior Producer was Freddy Chick.</p>
