The Limits Of The Liberal Quaker Reinvention Of Meeting Polity

BY ELIZABETH CAZDEN

Brief Description:
A look at the "confusion and disagreement" about how meetings govern themselves. Cazden reviews classical Quaker models and then looks at the "alternate model that has come to characterize liberal unprogrammed ('Friends General Conference-type') meetings in North America." An important read for anyone trying to understand contemporary Quaker debates over same-sex marriage, the meaning of membership, the role of committees and issues of leadership in the Religious Society of Friends.
