Adolescent Quakers: A Hidden Sect?, Simon Best Jan 2015

Adolescent Quakers: A Hidden Sect?, Simon Best

Quaker Studies

This paper uses British Quakers as a case study to illustrate how very different perspectives on group identity pertain between the adult group and Quaker youth. While the older Quakers see the young Quakers as a part of 'their' group, the adolescents do not feel the same level of affinity with older Quakers. This paper examines the sectarian nature of both groups and argues that while both groups have sect-like characteristics the sectarian nature of the two groups is differently configured. It argues that the adult group fa ils to acknowledge the adolescent group as a separate sect within the …


Elizabeth Bathurst's Soteriology And A List Of Corrections In Several Editions Of Her Works, Yasuharu Nakano Jan 2015

Elizabeth Bathurst's Soteriology And A List Of Corrections In Several Editions Of Her Works, Yasuharu Nakano

Quaker Studies

Elizabeth Bathurst (1655-1 685) was one of few Quaker systematic theologians in the Restoration. Her soteriology showed a pattern of traditional Quakerism common to earlier and contemporary Quakers like Fox and Barclay. However, her theology created a different theological atmosphere from them, in that she stoutly insisted on the sole authority of the Light and on the infallibility of human beings guided by the Holy Spirit against mainstream Quakerism after the 1660s. The first part of this paper briefly introduces the soteriology of Bathurst together with her understanding of human nature. In the second part, many citation errors from the …


The Experience Of Regeneration And Erosion Of Certainty In The Theology Of Second-Generation Quakers: No Place For Doubt?, Nikki Coffey Tousley Jan 2015

The Experience Of Regeneration And Erosion Of Certainty In The Theology Of Second-Generation Quakers: No Place For Doubt?, Nikki Coffey Tousley

Quaker Studies

The convincement accounts of first- and second-generation Quakers reveal changes in the implicit, narrative theology of regeneration and revelation, despite a relatively consistent articulated theology. Early Friends experienced one, overarching grace that encompassed justification, sanctification and the restoration of creation, emphasizing the culminating experience of regeneration. Anxiety about election, inherited from Puritanism, was replaced with assurance grounded in an experience of victory over sin that both justified and sanctified, and conferred a new, immediate understanding of the truth. This understanding was a subjective, relational knowledge of God's presence that was only secondarily propositional. Without the broad vision linking justification and …

Redefining Quaker Simplicity: The Friends Committee On National Legislation Building, 2005, Margery Post Abbott, Carl Abbott Jan 2015

Redefining Quaker Simplicity: The Friends Committee On National Legislation Building, 2005, Margery Post Abbott, Carl Abbott

Quaker Studies

In 2005, the Friends Committee on National Legislation, the major Quaker peace and justice lobbying organization in the United States, completed a substantial remodeling and expansion of its office building on Capitol Hill in Washington, DC. The building exemplifies a self-conscious effort to express Quaker values of simplicity and stewardship in architectural choices. Examining the changing meanings of simplicity as expressed in Quaker meeting houses, this article argues that contemporary Friends in the United States have given nontraditional meanings to the concept and now associate simplicity with environmental stewardship in personal and community life. For example, the use of natural …


'Do We Still Quake?': An Ethnographic And Historical Enquiry, Pam Lunn Jan 2015

'Do We Still Quake?': An Ethnographic And Historical Enquiry, Pam Lunn

Quaker Studies

Michele Tarter's (2004) essay, on first generation Friends and their prophecy of celestial flesh, explores the striking bodily manifestations of their spiritual experience, particularly 'quaking'. Reflecting on this, she writes: 'it is precisely what we no longer do: quake'. Using interview data from a small group of British Friends I shall show that some twenty-first-century Friends certainly do quake. I use accounts of early quaking, a variety of Quaker commentators, and historical accounts of the understanding of the body, to show the ways in which current quaking is different, and differently understood, from that of early Friends.


'What They Seek For Is In Themselves': Quaker Language And Thought In Eighteenth- And Nineteenth-Century American Literature, James Peacock Jan 2015

'What They Seek For Is In Themselves': Quaker Language And Thought In Eighteenth- And Nineteenth-Century American Literature, James Peacock

Quaker Studies

This paper argues that Quakerism was an important influence on a number of eighteenth- and nineteenth-century American writers. Looking at the work of, amongst others, Charles Brockden Brown, Robert Montgomery Bird, Ralph Waldo Emerson and John Greenleaf Whittier, it demonstrates that both the stereotyped depiction of Quakers and the use of Quaker ideas, such as the inward light in literature of the period, helped writers tackle some of the paradoxes of democracy in a young nation. The perceived mystery of Quaker individualism is used in these texts first to dramatize anxiety over the formation of American 'character' as either fundamentally …


Slavery, The Slave Trade And The Churches, James Walvin Jan 2015

Slavery, The Slave Trade And The Churches, James Walvin

Quaker Studies

The British did not initiate, but they came to dominate the Atlantic slave trade. Few expressed moral or ethical doubts about slavery. The Anglican church, was directly involved in slavery. When a Christian voice was raised against the slave trade, it was led by Quakers who also played a critical role in the campaign to end the slave trade.


James Nayler And The Lamb's War, Douglas Gwyn Jan 2015

James Nayler And The Lamb's War, Douglas Gwyn

Quaker Studies

James Nayler was perhaps the most articulate theologian and political spokesman of the earliest Quaker movement. He was part of a West Yorkshire group of radicals who added revolutionary impetus to George Fox's apocalyptic preaching of Christ's coming in the bodies of common men and women. With other Quaker leaders, Nayler insisted upon disestablishment of the Church, abolition of tithes, and disenfranchisement of the clergy, in order that Christ might rule in England, through human conscience. For early Friends, Christ's sovereignty in the conscience was less a principle of individual freedom to dissociate religiously than a basis for collective practices …

Three Kinds Of British Friends: A Latent Class Analysis, Mark S. Cary, Pink 'Ben' Dandelion Jan 2015

Three Kinds Of British Friends: A Latent Class Analysis, Mark S. Cary, Pink 'Ben' Dandelion

Quaker Studies

A latent class analysis was applied to the religious beliefs of 485 respondents in Rosie Rutherford's authoritative 2003 survey of British Friends. The analysis produced three groups: (1) Christian Quakers (27%), who hold a traditional Christian theology; (2) secularized Quakers (37%), who do not consider themselves atheists, but whose conception of God is not personal; and (3) Inner Light Quakers (36%), who emphasize the inner light and 'that of God in everyone' .


Two Kinds Of Quakers: A Latent Class Analysis, Mark S. Cary, Anita L. Weber Jan 2015

Two Kinds Of Quakers: A Latent Class Analysis, Mark S. Cary, Anita L. Weber

Quaker Studies

A latent class analysis was applied to 531 respondents to the Making New Friends survey of Philadelphia Yearly Meeting of the Religious Society of Friends (Quakers). We found two distinct patterns of religious beliefs-those in Group G want a deeper and personal relationship with God, while those in Group S are more interested in social testimonies and generally do not believe in a personal God.


Gertrude Von Petzold (1876-1952): Quaker And First Woman Minister, Claus Bernet Jan 2015

Gertrude Von Petzold (1876-1952): Quaker And First Woman Minister, Claus Bernet

Quaker Studies

Gertrude von Petzold was a pioneer in many ways: in England she was the first woman who got a post as a church minister, in Germany she was the first woman who qualified for a professorship in Germanics at Kiel University. At times when woman were not even allowed to vote, von Petzold pursued her academic career eagerly. Her ecumenical attitude resulted in membership within the Lutheran Church, the Unitarians and finally the Quakers.
