Index of Pendle Hill Pamphlets 1934 - 2017 Index of Pendle Hill Pamphlets 1934 - 2017 Introduction Many remarkable gifts have come out of the Pendle Hill experience, but few are more remarkable than the series of Pendle Hill Pamphlets, ongoing now for eighty years. Conceived as the published equivalent of messages spoken in a Friends’ meeting for worship, these brief essays reflect the range and vision of unprogrammed Quaker religious thought and practice. Among the authors represented here are a handful of famous names, such as Toynbee, Weil, and Buber. But for the most part the pamphlets are the works of a “cloud of witnesses” distinguished primarily for their spirit and expressiveness. And while there are recurring themes among them (peace, worship, art), the four hundred-plus titles cover almost as many topics. Over the years, many readers have commented on the richness of spiritual resources and information represented in these essays. Many have also asked for help in using them in study, reflection, and research. This index is designed to answer that need. It includes four sections: • Section I is an annotated list of the pamphlets. This list is in numerical order, and the pamphlet number serves as a cross-reference tool throughout the index. Each listing includes title, author, date of publication (in parentheses), a brief summary of the essay, and its subjects. • Section II groups the pamphlets alphabetically by author. • Section III lists the pamphlets alphabetically by title. • Section IV offers a subject index for the pamphlets. Index by Number Cooperation and Coercion as Methods of Social Change Nicholson, Vincent De Witt (1934) 1 The author asks if the consequences of differences and conflicts can be creative instead of devastating. Cooperation - Conflict Resolution A Religious Solution to the Social Problem Brinton, Howard Haines (1934) 2 A solution to the social problem of excessive individualism will be a religious one which still respects the rights of the individual. Simplicity The Value of Voluntary Simplicity Gregg, Richard Bartlett (1936) 3 Voluntary simplicity involves inner and outer conditions, such as intentional organization of life for a purpose. Simplicity The Totalitarian Claim of the Gospels Willson, Dora (1939) 4 When reading Jesus’s teachings, one should clear the mind of preconceptions and the interpretations of modern psychologies, then concentrate on the Gospels’ application to practical living. Bible - Gospels - Criticism Pacifist Program in Time of War, Threatened War, or Fascism Gregg, Richard Bartlett (1939) 5 A proposal to alter our social environment based on pacifism and nonviolence. Conscientious Objection - Pacifism - Religious Society of Friends Functional Poverty Young, Mildred Binns (1939) 6 Three papers derived from the author’s experiences suggest a paradoxical discipline of liberating one’s life by limiting one’s material possessions and processes, thus realizing one’s responsibilities and the oneness of humanity. Conduct of Life - Poverty A Quaker Mutation Heard, Gerald (1940) 7 The author sees current educational trends as unable to satisfy individual needs. The Quaker center, Pendle Hill, can become a model for fundamental changes in education and training of the whole individual. Pendle Hill - Education Rethinking Quaker Principles 8 Jones, Rufus (1940) The author believes the Society of Friends is a mutation that emerged from the Reformation movement of the 17th century. If there had been no Puritan movement there would have been no Society of Friends. English Civil War - Valiant Sixty - Quakerism Quaker Education in Theory and Practice (Chapter two reprinted as The Nature of Quakerism) Brinton, Howard Haines (1940) 9 The author outlines the aims of education, the nature of Quakerism, and Quaker education, giving references for further study. Education Community and Worship Steere, Douglas Van (1940) 10 The author discusses therapeutic groups, monastic communities, the Ashram movement, and the Society of Friends. For Quakers, the meeting for worship is the culmination of the experiences of religious community. Communities - Monasticism - Meeting for Worship A Discipline for Non-Violence Gregg, Richard Bartlett (1941) 11 Nonviolent resistance requires the physical element of manual labor and the direct social use of its products. Discipline - Religious Society of Friends - Doctrine - Pacifism A Standard of Living Young, Mildred Binns (1941) 12 The concept of functional poverty suggests that our standard of living causes distress and violence in our world. Standard of Living - Cost - Poverty -Simplicity The World Task of Pacifism 13 Muste, Abraham John (1941) Religious pacifism as it affects social change is addressed in relation to nonviolence, pacifist relief work, pacifist strategies, and alternative service. Pacifism - Nonviolence - Conscientious Objection Religion and Politics Sollmann, Wilhelm (1941) 14 A program for modern Christian democracy and a call for action, with a fifteen-point outline for solutions to the problems of the Western world. Christianity and Politics - Democracy War is the Enemy Muste, Abraham Johannes (1942) 15 Nonviolence, pacifism, and non-pacifism are discussed as in a search for the truth rather than as philosophical adversaries. Pacifism Peacemakers’ Dilemma: a Plea for a Modus Vivendi in the Peace Movement Pickard, Bertram (1942) 16 The author discusses the possibility of a compromise among different elements in the peace movement and points out two kinds of pacifism: integral and spurious. Peace - International Relations - Pacifism New Nations for Old Boulding, Kenneth Ewart (1942) 17 These plans for the abolition of war were written by an economist-pacifist during World War II. The author looks toward the necessary process of the redemption of nationalism. War - Peace Anthology with Comments Gray, Elizabeth Janet (1942) 18 The author offers excerpts from the writings of W. H. Davies, George Herbert, James Stephens, Francis of Assisi, Gerard Manley Hopkins, Thomas Ellwood and William Blake, among others, with her interpretations. Davies, W.H. - Herbert, George - Stephens, James - St. Francis - Hopkins, Gerard - Ellwood, Thomas - Blake, William Participation in Rural Life Young, Mildred Binns (1942) 19 To share in the love of God, one must enter into social responsibility for mankind. Participation - Conduct of Life - Rural Life - Community Guide to Quaker Practice Brinton, Howard Haines (1942) 20 The author interprets the practices of the Society of Friends in his time. Revised editions released in 1950, 1993, 2006 Friends - Government - Community - Doctrine Reality of the Spiritual World Kelly, Thomas R. (Thomas Raymond) (1942) 21 Experience a hypothetical God as if he exists, proposed Kelly in this series of four lessons: access to spiritual reality through the Holy Spirit in prayer, fellowship, God, and the spiritual world. Mysticism - Spirituality - Holy Spirit - Prayer Relief and Reconstruction: Notes on Principles Involved in Quaker Relief Service Wilson, R. (Roger) (1943) 22 Four aspects of Quaker relief work are elucidated: its religious basis, the role of the worker, relationships between official and voluntary organizations, and politics and sociology. World War II - Relief Work - Service - Friends Service Counsel - American Friends Service Committee Clash by Night Hamilton, Wallace Field (1944) 23 Pacifists and militarists are portrayed as rivals in the post-war citizenry. Pacifism - World War II We Are Accountable: a View of Mental Institutions 24 Edelstein, Leonard Gerald (1945) A member of a Civilian Public Service unit in a mental hospital during World War II describes the neglect, mistreatment, and brutality accorded patients, with a brief appeal to religious groups to change these conditions. Mental Institutions - Reform - Civilian Public Service Militarism for America Hartman, Grover Lowell. (1945) 25 A discussion of the pros and cons of military service, with the author concluding there are more effective ways to create a better society. Conscription - Peace The Quaker Meeting: a Personal Experience and Method Described and Analyzed Collier, Howard Ebenezer (1945) 26 This is a revised edition of a 1944 essay on the heart and soul of Quaker practice. Faith and Practice - Meetings - Religious Life Sources of the Quaker Peace Testimony Brinton, Howard Haines (1945) 27 Friends’ social testimonies form a unit derived from a common source: the direct insight of the soul into the nature of Truth and Goodness, interpreted through Divine Light. Peace - Pacifism Barclay in Brief: a Condensation of Robert Barclay’s Apology for the True Christian Divinity. Being an Explanation and Vindication of the Principles and Doctrines of the People Called Quakers. First Published in 1676 Mather, Eleanore Price (1945) 28 For more than 200 years, Barclay’s Apology was considered the most authoritative exposition of Quaker belief and practice, a synthesis of personal religious experience and the historical context of the religion. Barclay, Robert - Beliefs and Testimonies The Inward Journey of Isaac Penington: An Abbreviation of Penington’s Works 29 Penington, Isaac (1945) A condensation of the 1400-page, 1761 edition of Isaac Penington’s work, with a discussion of God, free will, and justification.

    PENDLE HILL PAMPHLET 2 A Religious Solution To The Social Problem Howard H. Brinton PENDLE HILL PUBLICATIONS WALLINGFORD, PENNSYLVANIA HOWARD H. BRINTON 2 A Religious Solution To The Social Problem ABOUT THE AUTHOR Howard H.Brinton, Ph.D., Professor of Religion, Mills College; Acting Director, Pendle Hill, 1934-35. Published 1934 by Pendle Hill Republished electronically © 2004 by Pendle Hill http://www.pendlehill.org/pendle_hill_pamphlets.htm email: [email protected] HOWARD H. BRINTON 3 A Religious Solution To The Social Problem A religious solution to the social problem involves an answer to two preliminary questions — what social problem are we attempting to solve and what religion do we offer as a solution? Since religion has assumed a wide variety of forms it will be necessary, if we are to simplify and clarify our approach, to adopt at the outset a definite religious viewpoint. To define our premises as those of Christianity in general is not sufficiently explicit because historic Christianity has itself assumed a wide variety of forms. For the purpose of the present undertaking I shall approach our problem from the original point of view of the Society of Friends, which, in many ways, resembled that of early Christianity. Such an approach need not imply a narrow sectarian view. Early Quakerism exhibited certain characteristics common to many religious movements in their initial creative periods. Later Quakerism has shared the fate of other movements in failing to carry on the ideals of the founders. As for the social problem for which we seek a solution, it is the fundamental dilemma out of which most present-day social problems arise.

  • Hymnody + Resistance
    Council of Lutheran Churches: Reformation 500 Hymnody and Christian War-Resistance: Voices for Peace 1914–1918 Rev’d Dr Clive Barrett Clive Barrett was County Ecumenical Officer for West Yorkshire Ecumenical Council. Author of Subversive Peacemakers: War-Resistance 1914-1918 (Lutterworth, Cambridge, 2014), he is Chair of the Trustees of the Peace Museum, Bradford, and a visiting fellow in Theology and Religious Studies at the University of Leeds. Overview This paper will consider how several strands of Protestant tradition appear from the perspective of those who resisted war in Europe in 1914–18, some of whom had assembled for a 1914 pan-Protestant peace conference on Lake Constance, 499 years after the death of Jan Hus. > Within Unitas Fratrum, there were those holding a clear commitment to nonviolence. The anti-militarist writing of Jon Wyclif (c 1330–84), the stand of Jan Hus (c 1371–1415), and the rebuilding of the movement under Petr Chelčický (c 1390–1460), all contributed to a heritage of nonviolence for the emerging Moravian Church. War-resistance and nonviolence are part of the pre-history of the Reformation. > Within the British Methodist and Nonconformist traditions, music and hymn- singing provided a means for expressing and bolstering faith and commitment, and for standing firm to one’s conscience (cf Luther), including a commitment to war-resistance in the name of Christ > Within Lutheranism, this paper examines two individuals whose broad commitment to peace transcended narrow nationalisms. Wyclif, Hus and Chelčický Richmond is a small town on the River Swale in North Yorkshire, dominated by an eleventh-century Norman castle.

  • White Poppies Churches
    Remembrance Sunday: Services for Peace a resource from Fellowship of Reconciliation and Peace Pledge Union ppu.org.uk for.org.uk THE PEACE PLEDGE UNION has campaigned against war since the 1930s. Founded in the shadow of World War One with the threat of World War Two already looming, its basis has always been that each person has a choice, whether to accept war and war preparations as a fact of ‘normal’ life, or to renounce war and work actively for peace. The Peace Pledge Union is the oldest secular pacifist organisation in the Britain. Today, we challenge systems, practices and polices that fuel war and militarism, and that contribute to the view that armed force is an effective agent of social change. Such systems and beliefs impede the emergence of nonviolent approaches to conflict. A more realistic approach to security would include promoting human rights by example, not by force; developing coherent programmes of education for peace; and reallocating military budgets to long- term peacebuilding, nonviolent diplomacy and tackling the root causes of war. THE FELLOWSHIP OF RECONCILIATION was founded in 1914 following a meeting between Henry Hodgkin, a British Quaker, and Friedrich Sigmund Schültze, a German Lutheran pastor. On parting at Cologne station, they said to each other “We are one in Christ and can never be at war”. A Basis for the Fellowship was agreed on in December that year, which is as follows: • That love as revealed and interpreted in the life and death of Jesus Christ, involves more than we have yet seen, that is the only power by which evil can be overcome and the only sufficient basis of human society.

Chapel Hill 2008 Approved by: Professor Jan Johnson Yopp, adviser Professor Barbara Friedman, reader Professor Stephen Birdsall, reader ©2008 Kelly Rae Chi ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ii ABSTRACT KELLY R. CHI: The Motivations and Challenges of Living Simply in a Consuming Society (Under the direction of Jan Yopp, Barbara Friedman and Stephen Birdsall) Voluntary simplicity, a cultural movement that focuses on buying less and working less, blossomed in the mid-1990s as increasing numbers of Americans voiced dissatisfaction with excessive consumerism and working long hours. While the movement is not formalized today, many Americans do live simply, according to some of the simplicity literature. Practices range from buying only environmentally friendly products, following religious guidelines, or living in communal settings. Though the weakening U.S. economy makes simplicity an attractive or necessary way of life, the daily lives of simplifiers are underreported in the mainstream media. Since 2003, newspaper articles on simplicity have diminished, and existing articles lack context on the varied motivations and challenges of the simplicity movement and how some Americans live simply. This thesis and its series of articles aims to fill that gap by looking at simplicity research as well as the stories of local people in family and community settings.

Howard BRINTON AS A THEOLOGIAN AND APOLOGIST FOR “REAL QUAKERISM” anthony manouSoS critical understanding of 20th century Quaker theology would A be incomplete without assessing the contribution of Howard Brinton, whose works helped create the theological framework for modern liberal Quakerism. Given the importance and stature of the Brintons, I felt some trepidation about undertaking the daunting task of writing the first book-length biography about them. Fortunately, I had access to Howard Brinton’s unpublished autobiography, dictated to Yuki Brinton a year before his death in 1973, as well as to the Brinton archives at Haverford College and to his family and friends, who have been very supportive. But the lack of secondary material about the Brintons has made my scholarly efforts extremely challenging. As Ben Pink Dandelion, of Woodbrooke, has observed, Quakerism, and particular 20th century Quaker theology, is “vastly 1 under-researched.” Ironically, Brinton, one of the most important Quaker theologians of the 20th century, was never trained as a theologian.
