Friendly Bible Study
Popular Bible study method originally published in pamphlet form by quakers (members of the Religious Society of Friends) Joanne and Larry Spears.
http://www.read-the-bible.org/FriendlyBibleStudy.htm

Extractions: A translation cannot reproduce in English all the meaning of the original text. On finer points and on some surprisingly major points, significant differences exist between one translation and another. The English words chosen to translate the Hebrew or Greek are important reflections of the translator's perspective. By using several different translations of the Bible, it will quickly become apparent that translators are human. Bible study in which different translations are read sensitizes the members to how the choice of English words affects the meaning of the text. The translator's words point to the meaning of the original text, which in turn is an effort to point to truth as the author understood it. This is a liberating insight to many, and it may transform a reader's antagonism toward the text and enable the reader to approach the text in order to understand the underlying truth.

The Beginnings Of Quakerism - Historical Roots Of The Religious Society Of Frien
A brief account of the development of the movement that became the Religious Society of Friends (quakers).
http://www.quakerinfo.com/quakhist.shtml

Extractions: Originally published July 12, 1998 at Suite101.com George Fox is generally called the founder of the Religious Society of Friends (Quakers). In the mid-17th century, he was a young man who wandered around England talking with priests, religious scholars and others seeking to find religious meaning. Generally, he found that those to whom he spoke had a lot of intellectual knowledge, but did not seem to really have a true connection with God. His Journal of George Fox reported the following experience he had after several years of this search: And when all my hopes in them and all men were gone. . . I heard a voice which said, "There is one, even Christ Jesus, that can speak to thy condition," and when I heard it, my heart did leap for joy. Later, Fox felt led to climb a "great hill" called

http://www.victorianweb.org/religion/quakers.html

Extractions: ounded in England in the seventeenth century by George Fox (1624-1691), the Society of Friends is a radical (pacifist) Protestant sect with roots in the period of the English revolution. Their quaint-sounding thees and thous, and their practice of keeping hats on indoors derive from George Fox's determination not to make signs of obeisance to any man, including the king. Since Quakers understand the spiritual life in entirely inward terms, they do not employ sacraments or other outward forms in worship. The doctrine of the Inward Light justifies Quakers' speech as the prompting of the Spirit. As any member may be "moved by the Spirit" to witness, all members at meeting for worship are potential ministers, and Quaker women preached or spoke in meeting from early days, eliciting Dr. Johnson's remark: Sir, a woman preaching is like a dog walking on its hind legs. It is not done well; but you are surprised to find it done at all. More positive views of Quaker worship can be found in Charles Lamb's essay, "A Quakers' Meeting" (

http://people.cryst.bbk.ac.uk/~ubcg09q/dmr/chap1.htm

Extractions: Back to introduction On to Chapter 2 Many people shy away from the idea of learning about the history of something. "The present," they say, "is what matters. Why is it necessary to go delving into the past?" The answer is that a much better understanding of the present, whether in science, history, social events, religion or whatever, is gained, if there is some knowledge of how things have developed or evolved from the past. Is the answer to this really important? Yes, it is; just as it is important for an understanding of Christianity to realise that it began at the time of the Roman occupation of the Middle East, which followed the Greek civilisation. Quakerism began in the middle years of the Seventeenth Century. This century has aptly been called "The Century of Revolution". This does not mean simply the political revolution in England, which led to the Civil War. There was a revolution in science, in religion, in thought generally; people were questioning authority in a number of ways, all about the same time. Thus: Round about 1630, Galileo was questioning the wisdom of the ancients: of Aristotle with regard to falling bodies and to mechanics in general; of Ptolemy with regard to the motion of the planets. As a result he came into conflict with the established

The School Of The Spirit - A Quaker Ministry Of Prayer And Learning
A ministry of prayer and learning which is a project of the Ministry and Worship Committee of Philadelphia Yearly Meeting of the Religious Society of Friends (quakers). It offers adult education sessions on such topics as Being a Spiritual Nurturer, and Contemplative Living and Prayer.
http://www.quakerinfo.com/sos.shtml

Extractions: Within the Religious Society of Friends, the traditional meetings of ministers and elders were sometimes referred to as a "school of the Spirit." In gathered worship Friends learned to discern the movement of the Inward Teacher and test their discernment with one another. This practiced listening extended into every aspect of their lives. Living into this way of being is not always easy; we often resist, preferring to ignore God's promptings into an ever-deepening union. But the still, quiet voice will not be silent, and with discipline and with the support of others we can find ourselves becoming more faithful. This ministry offers two forms of program to deepen our faithfulness: the two-year program of prayer and study On Being a Spiritual Nurturer , first offered in 1990 and now with its fifth class; and the tradition of

Extractions: Zion, Illinois, 3/18/00 by David H. Finke At the invitation of Chicago Metropolitan General Meeting of which I'm a member although I live in Missouri I've been asked to tell you something about us. In this time I cannot pretend to do a real "History" of Friends around here, and I call attention to a number of displays and books that may do that better. However, what I would like to do in the next 20-30 minutes is to share with you my own impressions of what I call "The Flavor" of Chicago-area Quakerism, by reference to its history and that expression through its Monthly Meetings. And in that, I think I have discerned a number of key themes which are very close to what is central in FWCC. Come on this survey with me through about a century and a half, and then learn more by visiting and worshipping with Friends from this area Don't just take my word for these conclusions. Although we know there were scattered Quakers living in Chicago as early as 1852, our story as a Society of Friends begins in 1864, and by the initiative not of Chicagoans
