Fox Valley Friends Meeting Of The Religious Society Of Friends
Religious society of friends (Quaker). in Northeastern Wisconsin USA.
http://www.focol.org/quakers/

Extractions: Religious Society of Friends (Quaker) in Northeastern Wisconsin USA We meet on Sundays at 11:00 a.m. for silent worship, followed by 10-15 minutes of worship-sharing and then a potluck lunch. In the summertime we meet in homes. After Labor Day through mid-June we meet in the Religious Education building of St. Joe's Catholic parish in Oneida, Wisconsin, west of Green Bay. Click here for a map and directions . For more information, call 920-749-0318 (Appleton) or (920) 337-0904 (Green Bay) or (920) 526-9295 (Shawano). Meeting for worship is a gathering together of individuals to form a spiritual community. The nature of the spiritual community transcends the state of each individual. It unifies us into an entity wherein we can worship together, sharing the communion of the Spirit. Though Quakerism is a tradition with Christian roots , we welcome seekers from all traditions and also those without a tradition, and non theists. Meeting for worship begins when we take our seats. There is no programmed service. There is only a silent waiting. That silence will allow you to quiet your mind and prepare to open yourself so that the divine, in whatever way you perceive it, might work in your heart. If you are moved to speak, speak from the conviction that you have been given these words and that they are not your own. When someone has spoken, let time pass before another person speaks. The silence will allow us time to reflect on what has been said. We believe that each person is directly responsible for his or her own relationship to God. Because each person's relationship with God is different and is always in a state of growth, we have no set creed. You will find a wide range of beliefs here, as well as people from many religious backgrounds. We are united by our desire to live good lives led by God. And, whatever our individual beliefs, we are expected to live those beliefs every day. There should be no separation between what we do at Meeting and what we do in our lives outside Meeting.

"Negro Membership In The Society Of Friends," (Part 1) By Henry Cadbury (1936)
NEGRO MEMBERSHIP IN THE society of friends (1). Henry Cadbury. Thus far no evidence has been given of actual membership by Negroes in the society of friends.
http://www.qhpress.org/quakerpages/qwhp/hcjnh1.htm

Extractions: NEGRO MEMBERSHIP IN THE SOCIETY OF FRIENDS (1) Henry Cadbury (Part One) Journal of Negro History, 21, This Document is on The Quaker Writings Home Page. At no period in history and in no part of America have Negroes ever become in large numbers members of the Society of Friends. This fact is the more striking when one recalls the early and constant concern of Quakerism for the colored race, especially for its spiritual welfare. Long before they realized the evils of slavery, George Fox and his followers urged the Friends to give religious instruction to their slaves. In Barbados this led, in 1676, to a law forbidding them to take their slaves to Quaker meetings, which law the Friends consistently disobeyed, suffering in consequence. Another law to the same effect was passed in 1678. (2) In Nevis, Friends were after a time prohibited from coming on shore; and Negroes were placed in irons for attending their meetings.(3) In the West Indies special meetings were held for Negroes. Writing in "12 mot, 1673," from London just after his return from America, George Fox speaks of "your Fortnights meetings among your Blacks." (4) William Edmondson, in 1675 (5) is one of the first travellers to mention these. A lost letter to him by George Fox, dated "1 m., 22, 1676," began:

Extractions: The case of a Mulatto woman, who had applied for membership with Friends, came before the meeting: a committee had been appointed to visit her, and reported their satisfaction as to her convincement but thought it unsafe to receive her on account of her colour! After much discussion it was at last concluded to refer the matter to the Quarterly Meeting. How hard it is to overcome old prejudices. (70) From Rahway and Plainfield Monthly Meeting, we are informed that Cynthia Myers, a Mulatto woman, had applied to be received into membership with them, had been visited by a committee from their meeting, who made a favorable report respecting her, yet as they could not fully unite in judgment in her case, it was referred to this Meeting where claiming our solid attention, and many friends expressing their sentiments thereon, it was thought best to refer it to the Yearly Meeting as friends here could not unite in the propriety of receiving The (sic) without the concurrence of that meeting (71)

George Fox
Explains how he formed the society of friends and subsequently founded the American Quaker Colony of Pennsylvania.
http://www.spartacus.schoolnet.co.uk/REfox.htm

Extractions: George Fox was born in Fenny Drayton, Leicestershire, in 1624. Apprenticed to a Nottingham shoemaker, Fox developed strong opinions about religion. Fox rebelled against the state control of the Church of England and in 1643 began toured the country giving sermons where he argued that consecrated buildings and ordained ministers were irrelevant to the individual seeking God. Three years later Fox had a divine revelation that inspired him to preach a gospel of brotherly love.
SOCIETY OF FRIENDS
FRIENDS, SOCIETY OF, the name adopted by a body of Christians, who, in law and general usage, are commonly called QUAKERS. society of friends.
http://65.1911encyclopedia.org/F/FR/FRIENDS_SOCIETY_OF.htm

Extractions: FRIENDS, SOCIETY OF , the name adopted by a body of Christians, who, in law and general usage, are commonly called QUAKERS. Though small in number, the Society occupies a~ position of singular interest. To the student of ecclesiastical history it is remarkable as exhibiting a form of Christianity widely divergent from the prevalent types, being a religious fellowship which has no formulated creed demanding definite subscription, and no liturgy, priesthood or outward sacrament, and which gives to women an equal place with men in church organization. The student of English constitutional history will observe the success with which Yriends have, by the mere force of passive resistance, obtained, from the legislature and the courts, indulgence for all their scruples and a legal recognition of their customs. In American history they occupy an important place because of the very prominent part which they played in the colonization of New Jersey and Pennsylvania. The history of Quakerism in England may be divided into three periods:(1) from the first preaching of George Fox in 1647 to the Toleration Act 1689; (2) from 1689 to the evangelical movement in 1835; (3) from 1835 to the present time. The activity of the early Friends was not confined to England or even to the British Isles. Fox and others travelled in America and the West India Islands; another reached Jerusalem and preached against the superstition of the monks; Mary Fisher (fi. 1652-1697), a religious maiden, visited Smyrna, the Morea and ,the court of Mahommed IV. at Adrianople; Alexander Parker (1628-1689) went to Africa; others made their way to Rome; two women were imprisoned by the Inquisition at Malta; two men passed into Austria and Hungary; and William Penn, George Fox and several others preached in Holland and Germany.

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.

http://dspace.dial.pipex.com/town/terrace/adw03/peel/religion/quakers.htm

Extractions: The Society of Friends owes its being to the personality of George Fox, who was born in 1624 in a Puritan home. Gradually he came to three 'truths': He wanted to call people from an unreal external religion to the true knowledge of God and the worship which is in spirit or in truth. From about 1648 he went out into the world challenging all that was merely conventional. He refused to doff his hat, bow or follow the usual social courtesies. He refused to use worldly titles or to take oaths. He attacked churches, calling them 'steeple-houses', and priests, since none could stand between man and God - this meant a refusal to pay tithes. He opposed war and preached truth and love. He was arrested, imprisoned, beaten, persecuted; yet he never returned violence for violence. The fundamental principle for which Quakers stood is usually today called the Inner Light, which is God in man. This direct experience of the Inner Light precluded any theological formulations, so Quakers did not have a Creed; neither did they make the Bible the primary source of their faith. Quaker services had no fixed form: they waited silently for the Spirit to move them. There were no ministers or priests or formal sacraments, since all life was deemed to be sacramental. The experience of the Inner Light found its expression in social crusades, in philanthropy and reform, in the repudiation of war and the commitment to peace as a positive way of life. Perhaps the most famous Quaker of this period was Elizabeth Fry, who expressed her beliefs by visiting
Joseph Lancaster
Was a member of the society of friends. Opened a small school and introduced the monitorial system. As a Quaker he was unwilling to inflict physical pain on his pupils. In 1803 he published his first pamphlet, Improvements in Education, which explained the teaching methods that he used at the school. (17781838)
http://www.spartacus.schoolnet.co.uk/RElancaster.htm

Extractions: Joseph Lancaster , the son of a shopkeeper, was born in Southwark, London , in 1778. As a boy Lancaster began to have religious visions that convinced him that he should become a missionary in the West Indies. At fourteen he left home and made his way to Bristol where he intended to catch a boat to Jamaica where he hoped "to teach the poor blacks the word of God." Unable to afford the fare, Lan caster found work in the city and soon afterwards joined the Society of Friends Lancaster returned to London and at the age of twenty opened small school in Southwark. Outside Lancaster put up a notice that read "All who will may send their children and have them educated freely, and those who do not wish to have education for nothing may pay for it if they please." The school was extremely popular but as most of the children were unable to contribute money towards their schooling, Lancaster found it difficult to employ people to teach them. After reading a pamphlet written by

http://www.neym.org/

Extractions: Treasurer, NEYM, 901 Pleasant Street Worcester, MA 01602-1908 The Quaker Message George Fox, one of the early founders of the Society of Friends in seventeenth century England, had as a youth suffered great anguish as he sought an answer to his spiritual quest. His answer came, after much reading of the Scriptures and visits to many ministers and counselors, when he heard a voice within him which said: "There is One, even Christ Jesus, that can speak to thy condition." "And when I heard it," he later reported, "my heart did leap for joy." He had found God directly without the aid of ritual or clergy, and henceforth his distinctive message was: Christ speaks directly to each human heart who seeks Him; listen to the teacher within; He placed His light within each of us, and as we follow the way He directs we shall be led into life and Truth. The first names for the new movement were Children of the Light and Friends of Truth. William Penn thought of it as "primitive Christianity revived."

Extractions: Ninth Month, 24, 2002 "I told them that I lived in the virtue of that life and power that took away the occasion of all wars…I told them I was come into the covenant of peace which was before wars and strife were..." George Fox, Founder of the Religious Society of Friends (Quakers), 1651. If ever there were a time for Friends to take action based upon our historic peace testimony, that time is now. We call upon Friends to witness and work to prevent this war, to reverse this new military doctrine, to call upon our governments to implement multilateral, diplomatic responses to the threats posed by the government of Iraq, and to continue developing positive, nonviolent approaches to resolving international conflicts. We know that there are millions of people of good will with whom we can join in this work. We find many compelling reasons for all people of faith and reason to oppose this war and this dangerous new military policy. Among them are:

Extractions: ARE YOU THINKING ABOUT MEMBERSHIP . . . ? The Friends Meeting at Stony Run welcomes applications of concerned persons who wish to become members of the Religious Society of Friends. Those ready to apply usually have acquired a background of experience and reading which has informed them of the principles and practices of Quakers. We especially recommend The Baltimore Yearly Meeting's book of Faith and Practice, Friends for 300 Years, and attendance at several meetings for worship and meetings for business. Membership implies a commitment. Friends recognize that the degree of active involvement may vary during the different stages of an individual's life. Nevertheless, it is earnestly desired that all members assume their rightful share of the responsibilities of membership. Each person should insofar as he or she is able, contribute to the Meeting through attendance at meetings for worship, participation in meetings for business, service from time to time on the various committees, and through financial support of the Meeting and its programs. If you are interested in applying for membership at Baltimore Monthly Meeting of Friends, Stony Run, consider how you would respond to these questions:
