In the united stillness of a truly 'gathered' meeting, there is a power known only by experience, and mysterious even when most familiar." Caroline Stephen, (1908).

Printable copy The Religious Society of Friends (Quakers) arose in mid-17th century England, during the religious, social and political upheaval of the English Civil War. Founded by George Fox (1624-1691), the movement was not intended as a new denomination, but rather as a rediscovery of original Christianity without institutional limitations. With recently-acquired access to the Bible in English, converts to this new view called themselves "Friends of Truth," considering themselves to be friends of Jesus, after the Gospel of John 15:14 ("You are my friends if you do what I command you"). And when all my hopes in men were gone, so that I had nothing outwardly to help me, nor could I tell what to do, then, oh! Then I heard a voice which said, 'There is One, even Christ Jesus that can speak to thy condition.' And when I heard it my heart did leap for joy.

Help Quakers Back to Last Page Glossary Index Related Terms Puritan Protestant Definition: The Quakers are a form of Protestant Christianity which was started by George Fox in 1652 and which emphasizes the spiritual aspect of Christain faith and experience. The label Quakers was a derogatory term given to the Society of Friends because of their habit of "quaking" during services. According to tradition, George Fox was standing on Pendle Hill in northwest England when he received a vision from God directing him that instead of simply obeying doctrines and rules he should instead focus upon the "Inner Light," or ability of every person to directly perceive the glory and love of God. All religious truth derives from this immediate perception of God, but some aspects become lost in the translation to dogma and doctrine. Fox began to preach this new, experiential form of Christianity throughout England. He also added the ideas of pacifism and the rejection of sworn oaths, two things which drew suspicion from political authorities. Officials hounded his followers and threw them in jail for their refusal to take oaths and for not supporting the Church of England like they were supposed to. Religious authorities, of course, were also not happy with this new movement - Puritans in particular were harsh in their condemnation of Quaker preaching. Quakers were unusual in that women played an important role in spreading the group's message, and four of them were put to death by the magistrates in Boston in 1659 and 1661. This did not halt the spread of the Quaker message, however, and it grew in popularity not only in the Massachussetts Bay Colony, but also in the other colonies.

Home Encyclopedia Summa Fathers ... F > Society of Friends (Quakers) Society of Friends (Quakers) The official designation of an Anglo American religious sect originally styling themselves "Children of Truth" and "Children of Light", but "in scorn by the world called Quakers". The founder of the sect George Fox , son of a well-to-do weaver , was born at Fenny Drayton in Leicestershire England , July, 1624. His parents , upright people and strict adherents of the established religion destined him for the Church ; but since the boy, at an early period, felt a strong aversion to a "hireling ministry ", he was, after receiving the bare rudiments of education apprenticed to a shoemaker . He grew to manhood a pure and honest youth, free from the vices of his age, and "endued", says Sewel , "with a gravity and stayedness of mind seldom seen in children". In his nineteenth year, while at a fair with two friends, who were "professors" of religion , he was so shocked by a proposal they made him to join them in drinking healths, that he abandoned their company.

Dan Smith, USA (Ret.) Talks About Military Affairs Wednesday, May 28, 2008 Deceiving the Dead One can only wonder at the temerity of the timing for the release of the latest book by a former Bush administration insider – Scott McClellan’s What Happened – on May 26, 2008, Memorial Day. The irony – maybe cynicism is a better description – that drips from this volume by the former White House Press Secretary is so thick that even the normally ubiquitous “unidentified high-ranking White House official” is hard to find for comment. Take, for example, the book’s title, What Happened . As it stands, the title suggests an accurate, “straight-talking” account (recall John McCain’s “Straight Talk Express”) of the behind-the-scenes debates, the options and recommendations of presidential advisors, and the decisions Bush finally made. But so direct is McClellan’s attack on the coterie of advisors and even of Bush himself that those named may be reeling from the literary equivalent of boxing’s one-two punch. If so, the book title is better put as a question from a disoriented pugilist who has gone down for the count:: “What Happened?” McClellan opens up in the preface where he writes that History seems poised to side with the judgment of the American people (including himself) “that the decision to invade Iraq was a serious strategic blunder…. No one… can know with absolute certainty how the war will be viewed decades from now when we can more fully understand its impact. What I do know is that war should only be waged when necessary, and the Iraq war was not necessary.”

William Penn Quakers, like Puritans, had their origins in the hotbed of European religious dissent. In addition to the many Quakers who suffered abroad, there were some who felt called to go further afield. The Quaker faith soon came to American shore. (Stratton) Though some had undoubtedly embraced the tenets of the Quakers prior to the arrival of two female missionaries in 1656, there is apparently no evidence to indicate that they had proclaimed themselves or adopted the name of the despised sect. Had they done so, they probably would have been at least named in the recommendation of the Court made in May of the same year, that "the 11th day of June next…be kept as a public day of humiliation, to seek the face of God in behalf of our native country, in reference to the abounding of errors, especially those of the Ranters and Quakers," etc. Plymouth, somewhat less severe in its approach to the Quaker "problem," still deemed them the "pernicious sect called Quakers . . , who sowed their corrupt and damnable doctrines, both by word and writings . . .so as the number of them increased, to the great endangering and subversion of the whole . . ."

Society of Friends - Quakers General Information The Society of Friends, commonly called Quakers, is a body of Christians that originated in 17th century England under George Fox. In 1988 the society had 200,260 members, with heavy concentrations in the United States (109,000), East Africa (45,000) and Great Britain (18,000). Quakers unite in affirming the immediacy of Christ's teaching; they hold that believers receive divine guidance from an inward light, without the aid of intermediaries or external rites. Meetings for worship can be silent, without ritual or professional clergy, or programmed, in which a minister officiates. Although their antecedents lie in English Puritanism and in the Anabaptist movement, the Society of Friends was formed during the English Civil War. Around 1652, George Fox began preaching that since there was "that of God in every man," a formal church structure and educated ministry were unnecessary. His first converts spread their faith throughout England, denouncing what they saw as social and spiritual compromises and calling individuals to an inward experience of God. In spite of schism and persecution, the new movement expanded during the Puritan Commonwealth (1649 - 60) and after the restoration of the monarchy (1660). By openly defying restrictive legislation, Friends helped achieve passage of the Toleration Act of 1689. BELIEVE Religious Information Source web-site Our List of 1,000 Religious Subjects

Historic Preservation PENNSYLVANIA STATE HISTORY THE QUAKER PROVINCE: 1681-1776 T he Founding of Pennsylvania W illiam Penn and the Quakers T he Charter T he New Colony P opulation and Immigration I ndians Although William Penn was granted all the land in Pennsylvania by the King, he and his heirs chose not to grant or settle any part of it without first buying the claims of Indians who lived there. In this manner, all of Pennsylvania except the northwestern third was purchased by 1768. The Commonwealth bought the Six Nations' claims to the remainder of the land in 1784 and 1789, and the claims of the Delawares and Wyandots in 1785. The defeat of the French and Indian War alliance by 1760, the withdrawal of the French, the crushing of Chief Pontiac's Indian alliance in 1764, and the failure of all attempts by Indians and colonists to live side by side led the Indians to migrate westward, gradually leaving Pennsylvania. E nglish English Quakers were the dominant element, although many English settlers were Anglican. The English settled heavily in the southeastern counties, which soon lost frontier characteristics and became the center of a thriving agricultural and commercial society. Philadelphia became the metropolis of the British colonies and a center of intellectual and commercial life.
