Extractions: Deism and the Quakers From John Punshon's Portrait in Grey: A Short History of the Quakers For more information on Quaker Beliefs, go to Chuck Fager's Quaker Theology Page Pages 158-167. "A Divided Inheritance" This discusses the different theological tendencies within Quakerism. Quakers have never formally adopted the "Trinity," but the three streams of Christian theology can be found in Quakerism. Deism, the "doctrine that God is quite other than the cosmos and entirely transcends it. Having created it as a closed system, he remains aloof from its operations and lets it go its own way" (160). This is God the creator, the "father." People who adhere to this theology tend to stress rational thought and science as a way of discovering truth, they tend to also place great emphasis on classic religious texts. Orthodox Quakerism is more sympathetic to Deism. For deists "the light was the inherent rational capacity of the mind." (161) Evangelical, the focus on Christ as the unique Son of God, the Redeemer who died for our sins. People are sinners who can be saved only by accepting Jesus as their Savior. This approach tends to stress charismatic leadership, strong emotional appeals and adherence to doctrine. At certain points, this has been strong in Quakerism, and it is stronger among Friends with Pastoral form of worship. Pantheist, the "the view that God and the universe are one entity, and that the divine is wholly immanent in the creation." (160). This is God as Spirit, as Holy Ghost, as Sanctifier. Silent and unprogrammed worship is most compatible with this theology, since it facilitates awareness of the spiritual dimensions of reality. It also leads to Universalism (as we define it, the belief that all religions are means to approach a the same spiritual reality) since many other faiths also practice this form of spiritual worship, e.g., Buddhism, Hinduism. Gandhi's book "All Religions Are True" is consistent with this philosophy. Pantheist Quakers view the "light [as] the direct operation of God upon the soul, something which the deist cosmology in principle refused to admit." (161).
Friends (Quakers) And Peace, By Bill Samuel - QuakerInfo.com
of the peace testimony of the Religious Society of Friends (quakers).
http://www.quakerinfo.com/quak_pce.shtml

Extractions: One of the things probably best known about Quakers is that we have a testimony against participation in war, which we call the peace testimony . As the Quaker movement was developing, Christian bodies did not generally take a pacifist stance. Friends themselves took a little while to become clear about it as a movement. In the very early years of the movement in the mid-seventeenth century in Britain, some Friends served in Cromwell's army. As late as 1659, prominent Friend Isaac Penington wrote a paper To the Parliament, the Army, and all the Well-affected in the Nation, who have been faithful to the Good Old Cause , in which he said the army had been "glorious Instruments in the hand of God." Although the peace testimony was not a clear testimony of the movement as a whole at first, it does seem to have been clear early on to George Fox, generally called the founder of Quakerism. In his
Quakers And Pendle
So just why are the quakers called quakers? It was Justice Bennett who coined the name quakers for the followers of George Fox. From the FAQ. Quaker Links.
http://www.pendle.net/Attractions/quakers.htm

Extractions: Site Map ... Pendle Hill The Religious Society of Friends Quaker Movement George Fox The Quaker movement was founded in the 17th century by George Fox. Fox was a reluctant starter of a new sect, his idea was to try and transform the existing structures to a more accurate following of Christ. For this he, and his followers, were persecuted by Cromwell's Puritan government and then the "restored" Charles II Catholics. Fox argued, based on the teachings of Peter (Acts 2 & 3), for an egalitarian, spirit-filled Christianity that would not be oppressive of people on account of race, sex, or class. (Ed: Sound familiar? - amazing how long it's taken us to start to get there!) Like much modern Christian thought, Fox believed that the "church" had lost its way when it became institutionalized in either Catholicism or Anglicanism. Fox challenged the existing hierarchical nature of authority in the church, pretty much the same as businesses all over the world are now beginning to see the severe limitations of a command and control hierarchy in their operations. Fox emphasized the personal nature of the relationship of an individual with Christ and hence the role that everyone plays in the ministry. Each individual is created in the image of God and as such has inherited God's power - it's up to the individual and his relations hip with God as to how and when this power is manifest. Even back in the 17th century the Quakers treated men and women as equals; it took the rest of Christendom until the early 20th century to start to recognize this. As, in the eyes of Friends, all of us are equal there is no point in any Friend trying to achieve honors amongst his equals, this encourages Friends to live a simple life.

Extractions: To prevent false reports, this is to give notice, that on the 25th of the last there was a conference held betwixt Frances Bugg and Henry Pickworth, in the Sessions-house in Sleeford in Lincolnshire, wherein the said Francis Bugg did plainly make it appear from divers quoteations [ sic ] fairly taken out of the Quakers own books, which were then and there produced, and openly read, to the general satisfaction of the audience, that the Quakers had prophanely abusd the Holy Scriptures, blasphemd the ever Blessed Trinity, denyd our Lord and Saviour, and reviled his Sacred Ordinances; This being fully provd against the Quakers, they being not able to disprove any one of his quotations, the magistrates there present, did therefore order some of their vile pamphlets to be publickly burnt at their Market Cross, which was accordingly performed; and in abhorrence of the Quakers blasphemous and anti-christian principles, did shortly after the conference declare, that a great many other of their books ought also very deservedly to be committed to the flames.
