This book was released on 2017-12-04 with total page 48 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Principles of the Religious Society of Friends and Some of Its Testimonies In sending forth this little book to the public, the writer has been actuated by no other motive or desire than to answer the many inquiries which come to him from time to time, both from those who are, and those who are not members of the Society of Friends, as to what Quakerism is; and realizing the need of answering these inquiries with such explanations as shall appeal to the thought and culture of the day, he has been induced under an apprehension of duty to write out that which his own conviction and experience have taught him to be the truth regarding it. Hence, he has endeavored to give expression to his thought upon this subject, in a form of language which he hopes will convince the rational under standing and judgment of his readers, from their present standpoint of culture, that they are practical and true, and capable of an adaptation to the spiritual needs of man, with a perfect confidence that theexperience of human life will confirm every position he has taken. With the humble hope that it may remove doubts from some minds, strengthen the convictions of others, and that all who read it may come nearer to the Divine Spirit, in thought, in hope, and in true spiritual life in the present state of existence, and strengthen the assurance that as each one lives in close obedience to the law written in the heart, there awaits us in the eternal life a glorious welcome to the Heavenly Father's mansions, he sends it forth on its mission of love and good will to men.

Download or read book The Quakers in America written by Thomas D. Hamm and published by Columbia University Press. This book was released on 2003 with total page 306 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Quakers in America is a multifaceted history of the Religious Society of Friends and a fascinating study of its culture and controversies today. Lively vignettes of Conservative, Evangelical, Friends General Conference, and Friends United meetings illuminate basic Quaker theology and reflect the group's diversity while also highlighting the fundamental unity within the religion. Quaker culture encompasses a rich tradition of practice even as believers continue to debate whether Quakerism is necessarily Christian, where religious authority should reside, how one transmits faith to children, and how gender and sexuality shape religious belief and behavior. Praised for its rich insight and wide-ranging perspective, The Quakers in America is a penetrating account of an influential, vibrant, and often misunderstood religious sect. Known best for their long-standing commitment to social activism, pacifism, fair treatment for Native Americans, and equality for women, the Quakers have influenced American thought and society far out of proportion to their relatively small numbers. Whether in the foreign policy arena (the American Friends Service Committee), in education (the Friends schools), or in the arts (prominent Quakers profiled in this book include James Turrell, Bonnie Raitt, and James Michener), Quakers have left a lasting imprint on American life. This multifaceted book is a concise history of the Religious Society of Friends; an introduction to its beliefs and practices; and a vivid picture of the culture and controversies of the Friends today. The book opens with lively vignettes of Conservative, Evangelical, Friends General Conference, and Friends United meetings that illuminate basic Quaker concepts and theology and reflect the group's diversity in the wake of the sectarian splintering of the nineteenth century. Yet the book also examines commonalities among American Friends that demonstrate a fundamental unity within the religion: their commitments to worship, the ministry of all believers, decision making based on seeking spiritual consensus rather than voting, a simple lifestyle, and education. Thomas Hamm shows that Quaker culture encompasses a rich tradition of practice even as believers continue to debate a number of central questions: Is Quakerism necessarily Christian? Where should religious authority reside? Is the self sacred? How does one transmit faith to children? How do gender and sexuality shape religious belief and behavior? Hamm's analysis of these debates reveals a vital religion that prizes both unity and diversity.
