  • Religion and the Abolition of Slavery: a Comparative Approach
    Religions and the abolition of slavery - a comparative approach William G. Clarence-Smith Economic historians tend to see religion as justifying servitude, or perhaps as ameliorating the conditions of slaves and serving to make abolition acceptable, but rarely as a causative factor in the evolution of the ‘peculiar institution.’ In the hallowed traditions, slavery emerges from scarcity of labour and abundance of land. This may be a mistake. If culture is to humans what water is to fish, the relationship between slavery and religion might be stood on its head. It takes a culture that sees certain human beings as chattels, or livestock, for labour to be structured in particular ways. If religions profoundly affected labour opportunities in societies, it becomes all the more important to understand how perceptions of slavery differed and changed. It is customary to draw a distinction between Christian sensitivity to slavery, and the ingrained conservatism of other faiths, but all world religions have wrestled with the problem of slavery. Moreover, all have hesitated between sanctioning and condemning the 'embarrassing institution.' Acceptance of slavery lasted for centuries, and yet went hand in hand with doubts, criticisms, and occasional outright condemnations. Hinduism The roots of slavery stretch back to the earliest Hindu texts, and belief in reincarnation led to the interpretation of slavery as retribution for evil deeds in an earlier life. Servile status originated chiefly from capture in war, birth to a bondwoman, sale of self and children, debt, or judicial procedures. Caste and slavery overlapped considerably, but were far from being identical. Brahmins tried to have themselves exempted from servitude, and more generally to ensure that no slave should belong to 1 someone from a lower caste.

New light on the Inner Light: An assessment of how Rufus Jones attempted to synthesize Quakerism and modern thought in Social Law in the Spiritual World by Helen Holt Doctor of Philosophy The University of Edinburgh 2019 2 Abstract Concerned by the threat that psychology seemed to pose to Christian belief, Rufus Jones wrote Social Law in the Spiritual World in 1904 to show how this new science would actually lead to a deeper understanding of God. In particular, Jones, an American Quaker, discussed the relationship between humans and God in terms of the Quaker concept of the Inner Light. He argued that the traditional dualistic formulation, which saw the Inner Light as distinct from human nature, was psychologically flawed and that instead it should be understood as describing an inherent relationship between God and humans.

  • FRIENDS HISTORICAL ASSOCIATION ANNUAL MEETING November 2007
    FRIENDS HISTORICAL ASSOCIATION ANNUAL MEETING November 2007 RECENT SCHOLARSHIP IN QUAKER HISTORY Acres of Quakers: an Architectural & Cultural History of Willistown Township, Chester County, Pennsylvania, from First Settlement through 1900. Compiled by John Charles Nagy & Penny Teaf Goulding. Malvern, PA: Willistown Township Historical Commission, 2006. An architectural and cultural study of all the buildings identified in Breou's Farm Maps of Chester County, 1883. The majority of these farms were owned by Quakers. Allen, Richard C. Quaker Communities In Early Modern Wales : From Resistance To Respectability. Cardiff : University of Wales Press, 2007. Quakerism has long fascinated historians and religious scholars, and Richard Allen's examination of the community's rise and fall in Wales holds a wealth of new insights. The prominent role played by women, the resilience of Quakers in the face of a variety of forms of official persecution, the ways that education, careers, and marriage were determined by a strict code of conduct, and the reasons for Quakerism's decline all come under consideration here. As the first scholarly analysis of Welsh Quakers, this book represents an important new contribution to our knowledge of the movement.--Publisher's description. Includes extensive references to Monmouthshire Quakers. Bacon, Margaret Hope. But One Race: the Life of Robert Purvis. Albany: State University of New York Press, 2007. Born in South Carolina to a wealthy white father and mixed race mother, Robert Purvis (1810- 1898) was one of the nineteenth century's leading black abolitionists and orators. In this first biography of Purvis, Margaret Hope Bacon uses his eloquent and often fierce speeches to provide a glimpse into the life of a passionate and distinguished man, intimately involved with a wide range of major reform movements, including abolition, civil rights, Underground Railroad activism, women's rights, Irish Home Rule, Native American rights, and prison reform.

The Ohio Valley Friends counted themselves among the traditional pacifist denominations throughout the United States in the twentieth century. With the onset of World War II, they dutifully followed this doctrine of pacifism incarcerating their youth in their own sponsored conscientious objector camp in Coshocton, Ohio.

  • William Penn in Myth and History
    "WEAR THE SWORD AS LONG AS THOU CANST". WILLIAM PENN IN MYTH AND HISTORY n July 1940, before America entered the war, Harold Evans of the AFSC testified before the Senate seeking to justify the Quaker Iclaim for conscientious objectors who would not serve in the military but who would provide alternative public service. Evans told the senators the story of young William Penn and his sword.1 The anecdote says that Penn - who had shortly before become a Quaker - approached George Fox with the question whether he could continue to wear a sword. Fox's answer was: "Wear it (the sword) as long as thou canst." The next time Fox met Penn, he had no sword. The story has long been popular among Friends, but for Quakers, who have a testimony for truth telling, the issue is whether Evans was speaking fiction to power. This article will be examining the documentary evidence for three popular traditions about William Penn - the sword story, the treaty with the Native Americans, and the "holy experiment." The topic is Penn in living memory and the means used by Friends, biographers, and the general public to maintain his fame. We will be concerned with William Penn the hero, or Penn as symbol or myth - bearing in mind that people create myths to capture and preserve what they regard as important truths. The conclusion will address the issue of the relevance of three centuries of traditions about Penn, who remains an elusive and monumental man. The sword anecdote was mentioned in no eighteenth or early nineteenth century biographies of Penn and was not cited in the recent four-volume edition of Penn's letters.
