How Friends (Quakers) Conduct Church Business, By Bill Samuel - QuakerInfo.com
Information on how the Religious society of friends (Quakers) conducts church business its method of decision making.
http://www.quakerinfo.com/quakmfb.shtml

Extractions: Originally published September 1, 2000 at Suite101.com Friends are not to meet [in meetings for business] like a company of people about town or parish business ... but to wait upon the Lord. (George Fox, Letters Friends (Quakers) do many things in a different manner than most do. One of these things is how Friends conduct their church business. In a study on this subject, Beyond Majority Rule (Philadelphia Yearly Meeting of the Religious Society of Friends, 1983), Michael J. Sheeran, S.J. states Friends "...may be the only modern Western community in which decision making achieves the group-centered decisions of traditional societies." Some people, even some Friends, look at the open and participatory aspects of a Friends meeting for business, and conclude it is designed to be democratic. In fact, its intention is not to find what the most people want to do, but to find the will of God for the body that is meeting. Friends decision making is fundamentally theocratic rather than democratic. Friends decision making is a matter of spiritual discernment. It is based on a belief that God's will can be perceived by human beings. Furthermore, it assumes that God speaks consistently to all and therefore that all who genuinely seek the will of God can find unity in what it is.

Herstory 1975 noted the work of Quaker ministers Alma G. Dale in Manitoba, and Eliza Brewer's work with the inmates of Kingston Penitentiary. In 1977, Herstory noted that the tradition of equality within the Society of Friends, and her strong faith, helped Emily Jennings Stowe during her long fight for recognition as Canada's first female doctor, and in her organization of the Dominion Women's Enfranchisement League in the 1890s.

Extractions: var site="sm4wss" Religious Society of Friends (Quakers) The Religious Society of Friends (Quakers) had its beginnings in Great Britain in the middle of the 17th century. George Fox traveled far and wide talking to priests and other religious leaders, but was not satisfied with what he heard and what he saw of their practice. Finally he heard a voice which said, "There is one, even Christ Jesus, that can speak to thy condition." When he heard that, his heart lept for joy. Having this revelation, he traveled far and wide sharing it, and he had another revelation of a great people to be gathered. He preached in the hope that "all come to know Christ to be their teacher to instruct them, their counsellor to direct them, their shepherd to oversee them; and might know their bodies to be prepared, sanctified, and made fit temples for God and Christ to dwell in." Many joined the fledgling movement. Some (men and

American Philosophical Society 105 South Fifth Street * Philadelphia, PA 19106-3386 Table of contents Abstract In October 1719, the Yearly Meeting of the Society of Friends for Philadelphia and the Jersies reached consensus on a "book of discipline" governing the "establishment and order of meetings." The regulations covered both the conduct of the Quarterly and Monthly Meetings and the personal comportment of individual members, refining the bureaucratic structure of the meetings and laying out the powers of Overseers and other officials. It touches upon marriage (mandating endogamy), burial, and attendance at meetings, and cautions Friends to plainness of speech and dress, drinking, smoking, backbiting, and gaming. This version of the Book of Discipline is a manuscript copy made for the American Philosophical Society in 1820 "from and antient Copy in the possession of Timothy Matlack, Esqr."

Quaker Environmentalism - QuakerInfo.com
Article by Marshall Massey on history and principles of environmental concerns in the Religious society of friends.
http://www.quakerinfo.com/quak_env.shtml

Extractions: Originally published April 1, 1999 at Suite101.com Marshall Massey proposed the creation of the North American Quaker environmental organization the Friends Committee on Unity with Nature in a 1985 plenary address to Friends in California. He helped set up the actual organization at the annual gathering of Friends General Conference two years later. He presently serves as staff for the Environmental Projects Center in Colorado, and leads workshops on witnessing skills for religious and environmental groups. Marshall attends Iowa Yearly Meeting (Conservative) of the Religious Society of Friends (Quakers). Quaker environmentalism is different from most other kinds of religious environmentalism because Quakerism itself is different! And so, to understand the one, we need to start by looking at the other. Now, there are three things in our Quaker tradition that, in my opinion, explain nearly all the striking differences between our Religious Society and most other Christian bodies:
The Artist In The Society Of Friends
The Artist in the society of friends. Then the society of friends places great value on the individual and values individuals for their diversity.
http://home.att.net/~quakart/texts/wilson.htm

Extractions: Home E-Texts Biography Links ... Message board Originally published in Reynard, Note: The Quaker Fellowship of the Arts (QFA) is a British organization founded in the mid-1950s, parent of sorts to the North American Fellowship of Quakers in the Arts (FQA). Friends in general tend to enjoy communicating with each other. One of my wartime impressions of evacuation to Huddersfield is of how, after a meeting of concerned townsfolk dispersed, Friends could be seen coming together across the empty hall to compare their reactions. This characteristic strikes strangers at once. They are surprised that we linger so long after Meeting for worship to talk to each other. A friend I brought to a Swarthmore lecture was absolutely astounded by its prelude of five or six hundred people all chattering excitedly. She said she had never been so astonished since she first heard the similar phenomenon with starlings at Trafalgar Square. So QFA gatherings have this basis. But there is more to it than that. Artists are a minority in most societies and often feel a little solitary. Their art absorbs them. In its practice they feel most themselves, and they look out on life from this angle. But in communion with others the door to this vital part of themselves tends to keep shut.

Friends have since the 17 th Century, borne witness against war and armed conflicts as contrary to the spirit and teachings of Christ. Inspired by George Fox (1624-91) Quakers asserted that religion is concerned with the Spirit of GOD in every person. (Quakers quaked when deeply moved). No binding moral code but Advices have Christian roots. A strong tradition of witness against war and military service. Deeply involved in work for peace, reconciliation, prisoners, community relations, education, aided by national and international committees. Meetings for silent worship help spiritual life: no set forms, symbols or festivals. Anyone may speak if so moved, or the meeting may remain silent. Marriage is by a simple exchange of promises at a Special Meeting. Death is marked also by a special meeting. No baptism, but newly born children are often welcomed at meetings.

Richmond Declaration Of Faith Of 1887 - QuakerInfo.com
The Richmond Declaration of Faith of 1887 is the classic statement of faith of the Orthodox branch of the Religious society of friends (Quakers).
http://www.quakerinfo.com/rdf.shtml

Extractions: var site="sm1QuakerInfo" Declaration of Faith Issued by the Richmond Conference in 1887 Section Links EXPLANATORY NOTE: A conference of 95 delegates appointed by 12 Friends (Quaker) yearly meetings representing the Orthodox branch of Friends across the world met in Richmond, Indiana in September 1887. This conference issued a Declaration of Faith , which has been widely used by Orthodox Friends ever since. This is one of the three major doctrinal documents for Orthodox Friends. The others are the Letter to the Governor of Barbadoes and Essential Truths (N.B. It should be understood that the quotations from Scripture are made from the Authorized Version unless stated to be from the Revised Version.) It is under a deep sense of what we owe to Him who has loved us that we feel called upon to offer a declaration of those fundamental doctrines of Christian truth that have always been professed by our branch of the Church of Christ. We believe in one holy, (Isa. 6:3, 58:15) almighty, (Gen. 17:1) all-wise, (Rom. 11:33, 16:27) and everlasting (Ps 90:1-2) God, the Father, (Matt 11:25-27) the Creator (Gen 1:1) and Preserver (Job 7:20) of all things; and in Jesus Christ, His only Son, our Lord, by whom all things were made, (John 1:30) and by whom all things consist; (Col 1:17) and in one Holy Spirit, proceeding from the Father and the Son, (John 15:26, 16:7) the Reprover (John 16:8) of the world, the Witness for Christ, (John 15:26) and the Teacher, (John 14:26) Guide, (John 16:13) and Sanctifier (2 Thess 2:13) of the people of God; and that these three are one in the eternal Godhead; (Matt 28:19, John 10:30, 17:21) to whom be honor, praise, and thanksgiving, now and forever. Amen.

A LIVELY CONCERN THE RELIGIOUS society of friends (QUAKERS). by Rachel MacNair.
http://www.fnsa.org/fall98/macnair1.html

Extractions: Friends: Who We Are The Religious Society of Friends, more commonly known as Quakers, began in the religious ferment of England in the 1600s. The basis of all Quaker beliefs is the presence of "that of God" in everyone. Everyone has an "Inner Light" for guidance. Though many choose to ignore it, it is always there to be reached. Though clearly Christian, the early Friends would quote the Koran when speaking with Turks because of the belief that other peoples who also had access to the Inner Light would understand better if spoken to in terms they understood. The Quaker response to those in positions of power who are not willing to listen, even to those who are brutal and insensitive, is a practice called "Speaking Truth to Power," which holds that everyone contains a spark that can be reached with prophetic voices. The Quaker method of worship involves the use of silence so that people can "center down" and be attuned to the Inner Light. Friends sit together in a Meeting for Worship, and speaking occurs when someone is moved of the Spirit to speak. The silence that follows the message is part of the message, to give others a chance to contemplate the point just made. There is no minister or, more accurately, everybody is a minister. All are equally invited to contribute to the spiritual journey of the group. Pastoral work and administrative work are done by committees and by a monthly Meeting for Worship with Attention to Business, which all can attend. Decisions are made by consensus of the group, so that there is no tyranny of the majority and the consciences of all individuals are respected. The Meeting is the group, analagous to a church, and Meetings are associated in larger geographical groups which meet yearly (hence, the Yearly Meeting).
