Three Kinds Of British Friends: A Latent Class Analysis, Mark S. Cary, Pink 'Ben' Dandelion
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
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
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.
The Fellowship Of Reconciliation's Propaganda And Theodora Wilson Wilson's Literary Contribution 1914-1917, Bert Den Boggende
The Fellowship Of Reconciliation's Propaganda And Theodora Wilson Wilson's Literary Contribution 1914-1917, Bert Den Boggende
Quaker Studies
During World War I Theodora Wilson Wilson, who shortly before the war had returned to her ancestral Quaker faith, made a unique contribution to the Fellowship of Reconciliation's (FOR) propaganda. Instead of the usual expository writings aimed at the well educated, she wrote simple stories directed at casual readers. They emphasised the kind of activity, 'doing', the FOR leadership had decided to curtail after an attempt at tramping in the Midlands in the summer of 1915 had resulted in a near riot. Her perspective reflected that of many Friends. Some very limited attention has been given to these stories, but …
The Journal Of George Fox: A Technology Of Presence, Hilary Hinds, Alison Findlay
The Journal Of George Fox: A Technology Of Presence, Hilary Hinds, Alison Findlay
Quaker Studies
Critics have debated at length whether George Fox's Journal is primarily to be understood within the tradition of seventeenth-century autobiographical writing, or as an historical account of the early Quaker movement. This article suggests that this is a false dichotomy, and argues instead that the Journal might be reconceived as a 'technology of presence': that is, in its attention both to the figure of Fox and to the detailed chronicling of time and place, its principal narrative impetus was to record, demonstrate and reproduce the presence of the returned and indwelling Christ. The Journal thus constitutes, in its form and …
'Children Of Light And Sons Of Darkness': Quakers, Oaths And The Old Bailey Proceedings In The Eighteenth Century, Edwina Newman
'Children Of Light And Sons Of Darkness': Quakers, Oaths And The Old Bailey Proceedings In The Eighteenth Century, Edwina Newman
Quaker Studies
This paper makes use of the technology that allows for the searching of the online edition of the Old Bailey Proceedings. Although Quakers were once very familiar with courts of justice, by the eighteenth century they had become considerably less persecuted than formerly. Their way oflife meant that they did not figure highly among defendants in criminal courts. Their testimony against oaths excluded them too from the ranks of prosecutors and witnesses, the newly won right to affirm not extending to criminal trials. Quakers figure in fewer than 100 of the 45,000 Old Bailey trials in this period. Nevertheless, what …
'Turning Hearts To Break Off The Yoke Of Oppression': The Travels And Sufferings Of Christopher Meidel, C. 1659-C. 1715, Richard Allen
'Turning Hearts To Break Off The Yoke Of Oppression': The Travels And Sufferings Of Christopher Meidel, C. 1659-C. 1715, Richard Allen
Quaker Studies
This study of Christopher Meidel, a Norwegian Quaker writer imprisoned both in England and on the Continent for his beliefs and actions, explores the life of a convert to Quakerism and his missionary zeal in the early eighteenth century. From Meidel's quite tempestuous career we receive insights into the issues Friends faced in Augustan England in adapting to life in a country whose inter-church relations were largely governed by the 1689 Toleration Act, and its insistence that recipients of toleration were to respect the rights of other religionists. In England and Wales, although not censured by Friends, Meidel's activities were …
Crossing Borders And Negotiating Boundaries: The Seventeenth-Century European Missions And Persecution, Sünne Juterczenka
Crossing Borders And Negotiating Boundaries: The Seventeenth-Century European Missions And Persecution, Sünne Juterczenka
Quaker Studies
On their journeys through the Dutch Republic and the German territories, seventeenth-century Quaker missionaries came into contact with a wide variety of religiously inspired groups and individuals. This article considers some problems of conventional historiographical approaches to the new religious diversity in early modern Europe. Persecution was an especially important issue for travelling ministers. Despite their own experience, some religious radicals strongly objected to the Quaker view on persecution, so that, among others, 'sufferings' became a controversial subject. This article argues that controversy was part of a transnational process of mapping out the new, radical spectrum in which many religious …
The Testimony Of Martha Simmonds, Quaker, Bernadette Smith
The Testimony Of Martha Simmonds, Quaker, Bernadette Smith
Quaker Studies
Martha Simmonds (1624-1665) was an early Quaker whose spiritual journey involved preaching, travelling, becoming a devotee of James Naylor and participating in his re-enactment of Christ's entry into Jerusalem and its aftermath. This event has largely defined her place in history and little serious attention has been given to her writings This paper attempts to fill this lacuna by discussing spiritual writing within the context of her life and contemporary constructs of'signs' and suffering, both on a personal scale and within the wider context of the collective persecution of the early Quakers. It aims to re-assess the Bristol 'sign' and …
Travelers Here In This Vale Of Tears: William Penn Preaches A Funeral Sermon, Michael Graves
Travelers Here In This Vale Of Tears: William Penn Preaches A Funeral Sermon, Michael Graves
Quaker Studies
William Penn, the significant seventeenth-century political figure and writer, was also an important preacher, but his role as a public speaker has received little attention, though at least two of his speeches and twelve of his impromptu sermons have survived. This essay argues that Penn's sermonic work is noteworthy through an examination of his 1688 public response to the death of Rebecca Travers, an important first-generation Quaker leader. Penn's response to Travers' death reveals his struggle to come to grips with the vicissitudes of his own life and, by implication, Travers' life. The sermon is interpreted as an instance of …

Deep In The Burbs : A Participatory Action Research Project Exploring How The Social Trinity Impacts Spiritual Formation In Suburban Elca Congregations, Steven P. Thomason
Doctor of Philosophy Theses
Deep in the Burbs is a participatory action research project that gathered members from three upper-Midwest suburban ELCA congregations to explore how engagement with the social Trinity might impact the research team’s ideation or praxis of spiritual formation. The research team pursued this question through the practice of Dwelling in the Word—specifically in select passages from the Upper Room Discourse (John 13-17)—various modalities of communicative learning, and communicative action projects in the community. The data indicate three major themes that became important to the research team: the essential nature of relationships, the necessity of reflection, and the awareness of the …

Assessing The Effect Of Worship Education And Worship Renewal At First Baptist Church Kings Mountain, North Carolina, Jonathan Bundon
Assessing The Effect Of Worship Education And Worship Renewal At First Baptist Church Kings Mountain, North Carolina, Jonathan Bundon
Doctor of Ministry Projects
For many Christians, worship has been reduced to the entertainment value centered on self rather than the Triune God. Ignorance must be combated with worship education and worship renewal. For the worshiper, how one prepares for corporate worship affects their worship experience and informs their private worship. The four-week study, Spirit and Truth, introduced members of First Baptist Church Kings Mountain to worship education and renewal and challenged them to assess their own worship practices. Quantitative and qualitative test results and observations validated this project's needs. In addition, the project afforded opportunities that might contribute to a life-long experiment of …
