Rating:
Summary: Quaker 'Classic'
Review: Quaker 'classic.' Brinton, who helped start Pacific Yearly Meeting (in California, Mexico, Hawaii) of the Religious Society of Friends (unprogrammed) and Pendle Hill (Quaker Center for Study and Contemplation near Philadelphia), describes the development of Quakerism since its beginnings with George Fox, Margaret Fell and others in the mid-1650s in England. He highlights the unique (mystical) form of Quaker Worship (in silence) as a third form of Christianity. Pendle Hill Publications used to title this book "Friends for 300 Years."
