June 29, at 10 am, 3845 North Swan Street – "Quakerism"
Join us next Sunday to explore the history of Quakerism.
Quakerism dates to mid-17th-century England and the revelation of founder George Fox, who taught that Christ can be known by personal experience. Early Quakers saw themselves in opposition to the Church of England, with its hierarchy of ministers. They were conspicuous in their belief in social equality, using the familiar thee/ thou pronouns (rather than formal you) with everyone; some even went to jail for such crimes as refusing to doff their hats to members of the aristocracy.
