The Liturgies Of Quakerism

BY BEN PINK-DANDELION

Brief Description:
In The Liturgies of Quakerism Pink-Dandelion explores the nature of liturgy within a form of worship based in silence. Tracing the original seventeenth-century Quakers' understanding of the `liturgy of silence,' and what for them replaced outward forms used in other parts of Christianity, this book explains how early Quaker understandings of `time,' `history,' and `apocalyptic' led to an inward liturgical form. The practices and understanding of twenty-first century liberal Quakers are explored, showing that these contemporary Quakers maintain the same kind of liturgical form as their ancestors but understand it in a different way.
