This book was released on 2016-09-16 with total page 288 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Three Lectures on the Early History of the Society of Friends in Bristol and Somersetshire In the doctrinal views of the two parties, the Con formists and the Puritans, there was little avowed difference. The uneasiness arose chiefly from a conscientious objection to the assumptions of the bishops, the introduction of numerous unscriptural offices and titles in the church - the laxity of her discipline - the prohibition of extemporaneous prayer - the numerous festivals - the use of organs and other instruments of music in time of worship - of the sign of the cross in the ceremony of baptism kneeling at the ceremony of the supper - bowing at the name of Jesus and on entering or leaving their places of worship - to the ring in marriage, as well as parts of the words spoken during the rite; and to the use of the surplice and other vestments by the priests during divine service. Such were the prin cipal grounds of difference in the commencement of the dispute; and though the Conformists affected to consider them non-essential, yet they insisted on them with a pertinacity, which increased the oppo sitiou and widened the breach, .until at length it produced an entire separation, from which have sprung the various classes of dissenters.

Book Quakers and their Meeting Houses

Download or read book Quakers and their Meeting Houses written by Chris Skidmore and published by Liverpool University Press. This book was released on 2021-10-15 with total page 176 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book provides a fascinating account of the architecture and historical development of the Quaker meeting house from the foundation of the movement to the twenty-first century. The Quaker meeting house is a distinctive building type used as a place of worship by members of the Society of Friends (Quakers). Starting with buildings of the late-seventeenth century, the book maps how the changing beliefs and practices of Quakers over the last 350 years have affected the architecture of the meeting house. The buildings considered are illustrated, predominantly in colour, and are from England, Scotland and Wales, with some consideration of colonial American examples. The book commences with an introduction which provides an accessible account of the early history of Quakerism and it concludes with a consideration of whether there is a Quaker architectural style and of what it might consist.

Book The History of the Society of Friends in America  Vol  1  Classic Reprint

Download or read book The History of the Society of Friends in America Vol 1 Classic Reprint written by James Bowden and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-10-21 with total page 458 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The History of the Society of Friends in America, Vol. 1 It is true, that no inconsiderable portions of the valuable histories both of Sewel and Gough, have reference to the proceedings of Friends in America. The details, however, which these furnish are confined principally to the sufferings of some of their early members or ministers in New England, and to transactions of the Society within the limits of Penn sylvania and the Jerseys. The present work embraces a much wider field, and aims to exhibit a distinct history of each individual Yearly Meeting of Friends in America from its rise down to a period comparatively recent; The new and unpublished materials relating to the Society of Friends in the western world, which, under many favour able circumstances the writer has been enabled to collect from various sources on both sides of the Atlantic, together with an easy access to numerous printed works of ancient date and of great scarcity, have placed within his reach the means of effecting the object to a much larger extent than he could have anticipated. And here he desires to acknow ledge the kind and valuable assistance which he has derived both from meetings and individuals, in the readiness with which they have allowed him access to mss., including some. Thousands of letters of early Friends; with other important historical documents of more recent date. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
