<p>I am having difficulty thinking of what I'll write for an essay when I start applying to colleges. So far, the only developed idea I have been able to come up with is my exploring the faith of the Society of Friends, commonly known as Quakerism, especially liberal Quakerism. </p>

<p>I don't think think that many people would find it offensive. It is a faith that is very tolerant of other faiths, and the type that I will be describing is very, very open-minded. </p>

<p>Is this an acceptable topic? Some of the schools I'm applying to are Catholic. Should I have a different essay for those schools?</p>

<p>I don’t think it’s offensive, but are you Quaker? How extensive was your “exploring”?</p>

<p>The question is how much the essay will reveal about you. I’m not sure about the relationship between Catholicism and Quakerism. xP</p>

<p>Thank you so much for your response! I truly appreciate it! </p>

<p>I’m not a Quaker (a Friend) yet, though I’m considering joining eventually. I’ve been looking into the beliefs for a few years now, and have recently started attending meetings.</p>

<p>Okay, just be sure to focus on the impact Quakerism has on you and don’t get too caught up in the society itself.</p>

<p>I don’t think someone’s faith is offensive unless they’re, I don’t know, a sadist or something.</p>
