Florence Nightingale
When she returned to England she started a school in 1860 for nurses at St. Thomas’ Hospital in London.  She wrote her most important book Notes on Nursing.  She was a keen Christian but also believed that pagan and eastern religions also contained genuine worth. She was a strong opponent of discrimination against all types of Christians as well as against non-Christians. Nightingale believed religion helped provide people with the fortitude for arduous good work.
