Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Growing out of the most radical fringes of the abolitionist movement, the Society for Universal Inquiry and Reform set out to inaugurate a new social order based on the principles of nonresistance. The Society founded eight utopian communities which, though short-lived, were the setting for the most radical questioning of antebellum American society. The members of the Society renounced all forms of coercive relationships. They attempted to live without government or private property and to model new visions of work, education, religion, economics, women's rights and roles, and community. This book tells the story of their impassioned attempt to transform the world and begin the "Government of God."

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1864 Alida and Calvin Clark, two abolitionist members of the Religious Society of Friends from Indiana, went on a mission trip to Helena, Arkansas. The Clarks had come to render temporary relief to displaced war orphans but instead found a lifelong calling. During their time in Arkansas, they started the school that became Southland College, which was the first institution of higher education for blacks west of the Mississippi, and they set up the first predominately black monthly meeting of the Religious Society of Friends in North America. Their progressive racial vision was continued by a succession of midwestern Quakers willing to endure the primitive conditions and social isolation of their work and to overcome the persistent challenges of economic adversity, social strife, and natural disaster. Southland’s survival through six difficult and sometimes dangerous decades reflects both the continuing missionary zeal of the Clarks and their successors as well as the dedication of the black Arkansans who sought dignity and hope at a time when these were rare commodities for African Americans in Arkansas.

Download or read book Historical Dictionary of the Friends Quakers written by Margery Post Abbott and published by Scarecrow Press. This book was released on 2011-12-01 with total page 600 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The modern reputation of Friends in the United States and Europe is grounded in the relief work they have conducted in the presence and aftermath of war. Friends (also known as Quakers) have coordinated the feeding and evacuation of children from war zones around the world. They have helped displaced persons without regard to politics. They have engaged in the relief of suffering in places as far-flung as Ireland, France, Germany, Ethiopia, Egypt, China, and India. Their work was acknowledged with the award of the Nobel Peace Prize in 1947 to the American Friends Service Committee (AFSC) and the Friends Service Council of Great Britain. More often, however, Quakers live, worship, and work quietly, without seeking public attention for themselves. Now, the Friends are a truly worldwide body and are recognized by their Christ-centered message of integrity and simplicity, as well as their nonviolent stance and affirmation of the belief that all people—women as well as men—may be called to the ministry. The expanded second edition of the Historical Dictionary of the Friends (Quakers) relates the history of the Friends through a chronology, an introductory essay, an extensive bibliography, and over 700 cross-referenced dictionary entries on concepts, significant figures, places, activities, and periods. This book is an excellent access point for scholars and students, who will find the overviews and sources for further research provided by this book to be enormously helpful.

Book excerpt: In 2008, a Quaker meeting in the West Richmond Friends Meeting of Richmond, Indiana quietly adopted a policy statement affirming the presence and participation of LGBTQ persons in all aspects of its fellowship, and posted this new statement, called a Minute, on its website. Officials in the meeting's regional association, Indiana Yearly Meeting, took exception to this new statement, and told West Richmond to remove it from the site. West Richmond declined. The resulting controversy unfolded over the next five years, and resulted in a major division in what had once been among the largest Quaker communities in the United States.This dispute soon engulfed all the meetings in the association. It involved issues ranging far beyond matters of sexual preference: debates over the place and role of Jesus and the Bible in Christian belief; Quaker history, church structure and governance; and recent social-cultural conflicts that have roiled American society and politics at every level.The struggle around West Richmond Friends Meeting drew the attention of Stephen Angell and Chuck Fager, Editors of the independent journal "Quaker Theology." While the journal was not intended as a news organ, Angell and Fager agreed that their central topic, theology, was entangled with the West Richmond situation in all its aspects. Moreover, no other Quaker publication was reporting on the situation. So they did, in a series of detailed reports and commentary. These reports make up the only extensive account of the debate and its outcome now available. In "Indiana Trainwreck," this material has been compiled, for the use of both historians and general readers. For historians, it is a unique resource for research. For general readers, it is a rare closeup view of issues that reverberate widely across our culture, and have implications far beyond the boundaries of a small Midwestern religious sect.Indeed, the Indiana virus spread, and parallel conflicts soon convulsed several other American Quaker associations; in turn, "Quaker Theology" reported on them as well. While the local; institutional divisions have been more or less resolved, the issues involved certainly have not. They still simmer both among Quakers and in society at large. Thus "Indiana Trainwreck" is intended as the first in a series, titled "The Separation Generation," as a record of this emblematic struggle, and a resource for study, discussion, and perhaps a contribution to some better future resolution.
