About This Book

Two addresses outline core principles and practical mission of the Society of Friends, combining historical reflection with contemporary application. The first traces early roots to intense sincerity and inward experience of Christ, presenting a religion of life centered on loyal discipleship, inspired leadership, warm fellowship, loving service, and steady spiritual growth, with organization as subordinate and worship, evangelism, and teaching as chief expressions. The second sketches contributions Friends can make to church and society: promoting religious tolerance, racial brotherhood, high ethical standards in business, practical philanthropy, devotion to inward worship and Spirit-led leadership, the role of women, a nonprofessional ministry, and the need for renewed conviction, consecration, sympathy, and corporate sense of mission.
