Email: [email protected] SCHISM AS COLLECTIVE DISAFFILIATION: A QUAKER TYPOLOGY Pink Dandelion Woodbrooke Quaker Study Centre and University of Birmingham, England ABSTRACT This research note builds on a study of British Quakers who have resigned their Membership in the last five years (Dandelion 2002). Quakers leave either because they are 'de-convinced' or because, in a group which places emphasis on continuing revela tion, they are grieving the loss of what has passed before. A third type resigns because they feel the group is too slow to support new revelation. -
Patterns of Membership and Participation Among British Quakers, 1823 – 2012
Patterns of Membership and Participation Among British Quakers, 1823 – 2012 JAMES WILLIAM CROAN CHADKIRK A thesis submitted to The University of Birmingham for the degree of MASTER OF PHILOSOPHY School of Theology, Philosophy and Religion Centre for Postgraduate Quaker Studies The University of Birmingham September 2014 University of Birmingham Research Archive e-theses repository This unpublished thesis/dissertation is copyright of the author and/or third parties.

Abstract During the 1850s there was rising concern in the Society of Friends about declining membership. From the 1840s attempts were made to obtain hard statistics on adherence and in the late 20th century another decline again reduced numbers to the level of the 1850s and 1860s. This thesis reviews and analyses data from the middle of the 19th century to 2012, illuminating variation in both membership and participation in church worship and governance. It presents new data on participation in meeting for worship and provides geographical and socio- metric data on the origins of enquiries about Quakerism, providing both a research tool for further work by bringing large volumes of information together and illuminating the ways in which the size and the social structure of the Society of Friends has varied with time. -

Hamm Earlham College, Richmond, USA ABSTRACT One of the distinctive features of Quakerism from the 1650s until the 1870s was its stance against any kind of pay for ministers, what Friends referred to as 'hireling ministry'. Friends viewed a paid, authoritative pastoral ministry as contrary to Scripture, as tending toward preaching that pleased humans rather than God, as limiting the leadings of the Holy Spirit, and as generally corrupting. One of the criticisms of Orthodox by Hicksite Friends in the 1820s was that the Orthodox were compromising this testimony by associating with clergy of other denominations in reform and humanitarian causes, and both Orthodox and Hicksite Friends in the United States invoked this tradition to discourage Friends from joining abolition societies after 1830. -

APPENDIX 1: OWNERS AND INHABITANTS OF EASNEYE PREFACE I first came to Easneye in 1964, when I had been appointed as the Resident Tutor at All Nations Missionary College, which had just moved there from Taplow, near Maidenhead, Berkshire. I lived with my family in North Lodge, one of the cottages on the Easneye estate, for the next four years, but my connection with All Nations and Easneye has continued up to the present. I worked for thirty-four years full-time and for another seven years part-time, and now my son, who was only eighteen months old back in 1964, is a member of the All Nations faculty. I feel, therefore, that my long connection with the place gives me the interest and ability to look into and record something of the past history of Easneye and its inhabitants. Mr David Morris, the Principal of All Nations when it was at Taplow as well as for several years after the move to Easneye, and whose vision and hard work were vital in making the college what it is today, used to give a very informative and entertaining history of the site, the building, the Buxton family and the college (never dull but sometimes bordering on the over-imaginative!)

Joseph John Gurney in America HE Gurney Loan Collection of MSS
Joseph John Gurney in America HE Gurney Loan Collection of MSS. contains about 120 of the Journal Letters written by Joseph John Gurney T during his visit to America in the years 1837 to 1840. These were set up in type and a few copies were privately circulated on his return to England, but the more important details were published for general use in the two volumes, A Winter in the West Indies, described in Familiar Letters addressed to Henry Clay of Kentucky ; London, 1840 ; and A Journey in North America, described in Familiar Letters to Amelia Opie ; Norwich, 1841. Two letters written during this period are here printed. The contemporary copy of a letter from E. Warder, of Springfield, Ohio, describes the impression made by one of J. J. Gurney's family visits. The writer has not been identified, and Joseph J. Gurney does not mention the incident in his letters, but the Ohio Yearly Meeting, and other incidents of his ministry in that district are vividly described in the following letter. ARTHUR J. EDDINGTON. E. WARDER'S LETTER Our dear Father and friends left an hour since and having arranged matters and things I gladly sit down to give my dear Mother an account of the delightful visit we have had whose only defect was her absence—How much would thee have enjoyed the pure, holy, Christian spirit, the humility and unbounded love accompanied by polished manners and fine sense—He is one of the most beautiful exemplifications of the Christian gentleman I have ever seen, and instead of this short stay we wished most earnestly he could have remained a week—how great a priveledge to be enabled to enjoy the society of such, but this we could not do in Philadelphia—there we should only have met him in publick —here he was one of us—We had delayed dinner to a late hour when despairing of seeing them we had commenced and, they arrived—Joseph J. -

English ministers visiting in America sided with one group of Friends and denounced the others as unsound. Thus it seemed reasonable and proper to recognize the yearly meetings called "Orthodox," and to ostracize the other branch called "Hicksite," which meant they were no longer to be thought of as Quakers. As other splits came in the United States, the British Friends chose in each situation to recognize one branch and ostracize the others. -

For more information, please contact [email protected]. Chapter 2 Continuing Revelation Gospel or Heresy? Paul Anderson Sometimes evil results from seeking to do particular harm or general malevolence, but usually this is not the case. Evil, perceived or actual, is often a factor of moral compromises made in the name of furthering an alternategood. Deception, violence, incompetence, dishonesty, greed, coercion, intemperance, and such biblically-named vices as lasciviousness, concupiscence, and licentiousness, get rationalized in the name of good. Even such positive virtues as family, home, nation, religion, progress, defense, and liberation get yoked to questionable means, and this is the only way evil can be tolerated. It does not cease, however, to be evil, which is why this subject is vitally important. This chapter considers the role of appeals to continuing revelation in the furthering of good and the legitimation of evil. -
