The Hicksite-orthodox Reunification

The Hicksite-orthodox Reunification

50th Anniversary Perspectives - Dvd

BY JARED TABER AND LAURA SMOOT
In 2005, Philadelphia Yearly Meeting celebrated the 50th anniversary of its reunification following 128 years of disunity during the Hicksite/Orthodox split. This documentary offers some perspectives on the occasion of that anniversary, through five Friends who share their memories of the reunification in 1955 and the times leading up to it. Its purpose is not to provide a comprehensive historical view, but rather to capture some personal viewpoints on the events leading to reunification. The history is relevant today, as Friends continue to address challenges to our unity, even as we strive to worship, work for a more peaceful world, and engage with ever-increasing diversity in our lives.

The Rediscovery Of Primitive Christianity

BY JOSEPH JOHN GURNEY
Gurney (1788-1847), Elizabeth Fry's brother, was a birthright Friend and a recorded minister. He traveled extensively in America, and Europe working for peace, penal reform, and the abolition of slavery. But he was divisive in America, his view that Quakers had forsaken the Bible for the Inner light led to a major split in Quakerism that persists to today. This book presents his views on the radical nature of Quakerism.

Reasons For Hope

The Faith And Future Of The Friends Church

BY JOHN PUNSHON
Punshon writes of the evangelical Friends Church and its problems and in so doing addresses topics of interest and concern to all Friends. He cites the "distinctives" that make us Quakers and their biblical basis and, as he always does, he writes clearly on complicated matters of faith, making transparent what was confused or unstated and hoping to promote an informed discussion. An important book.

Reflections On Divisions Among Friends Today - Two Essays

BY DOUGLAS GWYN, FOREWORD BY ELIZABETH CAZDEN
The two essays published here are "Sense and Sensibilities: Quaker Bispirituality Today" and "Standing with the Lamb," the talk that Doug Gwyn presented at the FUM triennial in 2005. He says, "Because the light of Christ is in all people, spiritual freedom is followed immediately by a humanistic, civil implication. If Christ is to have freedom to work with whomever he chooses, then human society must be a level playing field. Society must be free, open, inclusive, egalitarian, just. Excluding people is excluding potential channels for Christ's work."

The Transformation Of American Quakerism

The Transformation Of American Quakerism

BY THOMAS HAMM
In 1800 American Quakers lived in a unique religious environment, characterized by quietism and "the plain life." By 1900 the religious sect had become virtually indistinguishable from the Protestant mainstream, absorbed by the same questions of modernism that troubled other denominations. Thomas Hamm's detailed historical study sheds new light on this transformation, filling a major gap in the literature of American Quakerism and American religion as a whole.

Or Some Mysteries Of The Holy Spirit's Life At Work In Its Body's Members - A Letter To New England Friends

BY BRIAN DRAYTON
or "Some mysteries of the holy Spirit's LIFE at work in its body's members hinted at. A letter to New England Friends". Unity is not a product but a process and 'living in unity' is another way to describe the watchful life that is the heart of Friends response to the presence of the inward Teacher. Using historic examples, Brian Drayton develops this theme and examines how well we are currently living this process. Friends beyond New England will find this slim pamphlet as useful as his fellow New Englanders.
