RELIGIOUS SOCIETY OF FRIENDS (QUAKERS) Click Here to Visit our Sponsors. Most faith groups have specific beliefs that their membership is expected to follow. Sometimes, as in the case of the Roman Catholic church, these requirements are numerous. The Religious Society of Friends is near the opposite end of the religious spectrum. They rely heavily upon spiritual searching by individual members, individual congregations and meetings (regional assemblies). This makes the Quakers difficult to describe in a short essay. We attempt here to portray mainstream Quaker practice. Some Quaker meetings at the liberal and evangelical ends of the spectrum differ significantly from what is covered below. European history: The movement was founded by in England by George Fox (1624-1691), a nonconformist religious reformer. At the age of 19, he left home on a four year search, seeking answers to questions which had troubled him since his childhood. He sought guidance from a variety of the country's spiritual leaders. He gradually became disillusioned with those leaders and with the existing Christian denominations. At the age of 23, he heard a voice, saying "there is one, even Christ Jesus, who can speak to thy condition"

Facts About Friends by Ted Hoare member of Australia Yearly Meeting Welcome to our Meeting This leaflet provides a brief introduction to the Religious Society of Friends and we hope it will stimulate requests for further information which is available in other publications. Our Christian Background The origins of the Society are found in the seventeenth century in England, a time when many were questioning the established beliefs of the age. George Fox (1625-1691) did not find answers to his questions in any of the churches of his day. Out of his searching came the spiritual message which swept a large part of the country and which resulted in the formation of the Religious Society of Friends. Friends witnessed to an Alternative Christianity quite distinct from the churches of the time. As a result they were persecuted both by Cromwell's Puritan government and by the restored government of Charles II. Fox did not intend to start a new sect. He wanted to persuade the church to return to what it had been in the days of the Apostles. He proclaimed the early preaching of Peter (Acts, chapter 2 and 3) that Jesus, who had been present in the flesh, had risen from the dead and was now come in the Spirit. That Jesus acted in the hearts of his followers purifying and empowering them. Pursuing Peter's teaching, Fox called for a radical, egalitarian, spirit-filled Christianity that would not be oppressive of people on account of race, sex, or class. He maintained that the message of the early church had been lost when the church became institutionalized and believed that he, and others with him, could stand in exactly the same state as Apostles, with the same power to teach, to heal, and to prophesy that the Apostles had.

Bio Search Bill Samuel's Web Sites Bill Samuel Webservant QuakerInfo.com var site="sm1QuakerInfo" Bayard Rustin Civil Rights Leader by Buzz Haughton Originally published February 1, 1999 at Suite101.com Buzz Haughton is a librarian at Shields Library , University of California, Davis. He is also a member of Davis Monthly Meeting in Pacific Yearly Meeting of the Religious Society of Friends (Quakers). This article appeared in print in the Fall 1999 issue of Quaker Studies and in 2000 in Afro-Americans in New York Life and History . It appears here by permission of the author.] Bayard Rustin Background on Bayard Rustin Although Bayard Rustin was one of the most important leaders of the American civil rights movement from the advent of its modern period in the 1950s until well into the 1980s, his name was seldom mentioned; he received comparatively little press or media attention, and others' names were usually much more readily associated with the movement than his was. His was a behind-the-scenes role that, for all its importance, never garnered Rustin the public acclaim he deserved. Rustin's homosexuality and early communist affiliation probably meant that the importance of his contribution to the civil rights and peace movements would never be acknowledged. However, fairness demands that the extent of Rustin's work receive a fair public reception. Bayard Taylor Rustin was born on March 17, 1912, to Florence Rustin, one of eight children of Julia and Janifer Rustin of West Chester, Pennsylvania. Florence's child had been born out of wedlock; the father was Archie Hopkins. Julia and Janifer decided to raise young Bayard as their son, the youngest of the large Rustin family. Julia Rustin had been raised a member of the Society of Friends (Quakers), and even though she attended the African Methodist Episcopal Church, the denomination of her husband, she impressed on the children she raised certain Quaker principles: the equality of all human beings before God, the vital need for nonviolence, the importance of dealing with everyone with love and respect.

Yet most know of only one aspect of ther life. Here I seek to provide a brief overview of the life of this woman who had such an impact on public life at a time when that was not well accepted. Early Life Elizabeth Gurney was the third of 12 children of John and Catherine Gurney of Norwich, England. John Gurney was a successful banker and businessman. Catherine was a member of the Barclay banking family. Both their families were active in the Society of Friends (Quakers). Catherine believed that girls as well as boys should have a well rounded education, so Elizabeth got the basics of all the major academic subjects from her mother. Catherine also told the children Bible stories and read Psalms to them. She spent much time visiting and helping the sick and the poor, and the child Elizabeth loved to go on these visits with her mother. Elizabeth must have been deeply grieved at the age of 12 when her mother died shortly after giving birth to her twelfth child.

Members are also known as "Friends'. As Quakers we believe that our religious insights, attitudes and practices together form a way of life. Quakers have no dogmas or creeds. We have no one definition of "God".. Each of us seeks to experience the religious life for herself or himself. We have the conviction that each of us can have direct experience of the Spirit of God and that something of God is expressed in everyone"s life. Quakers in general believe that there is something of God in every woman and man and that we are all of one family and should have equal access to the earth's resources.
