Excerpt from Memoir of Rachel Hicks Birth and Parentage - Early Religious Experience - Hospitality of her Father's House - Exercises of her Mind concerning Divine Requisitions - Her Marriage - First Appearance in the Ministry. 8th mo. 7th, 1857. I Have long felt that the work given me to do will not be finished unless I leave some account of my life and my various religious exercises in the course of it. In times past I have been fearful that a wish to transmit my name to a future generation had some share in the feeling.

A Vivifying Spirit
Author: Janet Moore LindmanPublisher: Penn State Press
ISBN: 0271094184
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 285
Book Description
American Quakerism changed dramatically in the antebellum era owing to both internal and external forces, including schism, industrialization, western migration, and reform activism. With the “Great Separation” of the 1820s and subsequent divisions during the 1840s and 1850s, new Quaker sects emerged. Some maintained the quietism of the previous era; others became more austere; still others were heavily influenced by American evangelicalism and integration into modern culture. Examining this increasing complexity and highlighting a vital religiosity driven by deeply held convictions, Janet Moore Lindman focuses on the Friends of the mid-Atlantic and the Delaware Valley to explore how Friends’ piety affected their actions—not only in the evolution of religious practice and belief but also in response to a changing social and political context. Her analysis demonstrates how these Friends’ practical approach to piety embodied spiritual ideals that reformulated their religion and aided their participation in a burgeoning American republic. Based on extensive archival research, this book sheds new light on both the evolution of Quaker spiritual practice and the history of antebellum reform movements. It will be of interest to scholars and students of early American history, religious studies, and Quaker studies as well as general readers interested in the history of the Society of Friends.

Slavery and the Meetinghouse
Author: Ryan P. JordanPublisher: Indiana University Press
ISBN: 0253117097
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 202
Book Description
Ryan P. Jordan explores the limits of religious dissent in antebellum America, and reminds us of the difficulties facing reformers who tried peacefully to end slavery. In the years before the Civil War, the Society of Friends opposed the abolitionist campaign for an immediate end to slavery and considered abolitionists within the church as heterodox radicals seeking to destroy civil and religious liberty. In response, many Quaker abolitionists began to build "comeouter" institutions where social and legal inequalities could be freely discussed, and where church members could fuse religious worship with social activism. The conflict between the Quakers and the Abolitionists highlights the dilemma of liberal religion within a slaveholding republic.
