History, Biography & Autobiography

“Commitment to a life of obedience to the Spirit has been of essential importance to Friends both as individuals and as Meetings. This commitment has led us to support much that is creative in public life, education, business, and concern for the oppressed. … Our history, however, demonstrates that our discernment has not always been complete: we have not always been united in our perceptions of what obedience to the Spirit requires, and we have fallen into conflict and misunderstanding…. Yet out of such conflicts, painful as they have been, have come greater clarity of commitment and unity in witness.”

— Faith & Practice of Philadelphia Yearly Meeting, 2002

Margaret Fell And The End Of Time

Margaret Fell And The End Of Time

The Theology Of The Mother Of Quakerism

BY SALLY BRUYNEEL
This book unusually looks at Margaret Fell as a religious author or theologian in her own right. Sally Bruyneel systematically analyzes Fell's writings on both Quaker and orthodox Christian subjects, ranging from the Inward Light to eschatology to the Trinity. In doing so she demonstrates that Fell was deeply influenced by Biblical apocalyptic literature and the strong eschatological expectations of her time, which became central to her work with the Jews, for her defense of the spirituality equality of women, and for her promotion of the Quaker testimony of peace.

The Florist's Daughter

The Florist's Daughter

BY PATRICIA HAMPL
Her writing is well known to friends from gathering workshops on spiritual storytelling that have used "I Could tell you stories" and made that book a best seller for us. This book tells the story of her parents a debonair Czech father, whose floral work gave him entre to St. Paul society, and her mother a distrustful Irishwoman with an uncanny ability to tell a tale. Written while her mother was dying, it is a telling of life's lived with passion and spirit that created and enriched her own.

Memoir Of A Quaker At Home In A Jesuit Mission

BY DYCK W. VERMILYE
Dyck Vermilye first arrives in Harrare, then called Salisbury, back in 1980, making contact with the local Quakers, as well meeting in a local bar a very racist white ex infantryman, Grant, who continually reappears in his life, often in surprising circumstances. The book details his subsequent return to Africa and his work within a Jesuit training center, Silviera House, just outside the city. A fascinating life and a glimpse into a small Quaker world (and a jesuit one as well) in a most troubled country.
