Quietism teaches that “sinless perfection” is attainable in this life and comes from inner quietness or meditative contemplation that is believed to allow God to work as all human effort ceases. Remind you of something today?
ellauri092.html on line 281: Keswick’s emphasis on emotion, signs and wonders gave birth to Pentecostalism, the Charismatic Movement and ultimately to today’s NAR movement, all facets of the same doctrinal errors. Moreover, today’s Contemplative Movement is simply a redressing of the Quaker Quietism.

ellauri150.html on line 478: Arthur Hammond Harris aka Christopher Fry (18 December 1907 – 30 June 2005) was an English poet and playwright. He is best known for his verse dramas, especially The Lady's Not for Burning, which made him a major force in theatre in the 1940s and 1950s. Fry was born as Arthur Hammond Harris in Bristol, the son of Charles John Harris, a master builder who retired early to work full-time as a licensed Lay Reader in the Church of England, and his wife Emma Marguerite Fry Hammond Harris. While still young, he took his mother's maiden name because, on very tenuous grounds, he believed her to be related to the 19th-century Quaker prison reformer Elizabeth Fry. He adopted Elizabeth Fry's faith, and became a Quaker and a gay. In the 1920s, he met the writer Robert Gittings, who became a lifelong friend. Maybe William Wyler was another yet longer friend. Gore Vidal most certainly another.

ellauri160.html on line 126: Both sides of Pound's family emigrated from England in the 17th century. On his father's side, the immigrant ancestor was John Pound, a Quaker who arrived from England around 1650. Ezra's paternal grandmother, Susan Angevine Loomis, married Thaddeus Coleman Pound. On his mother's side, Pound was descended from William Wadsworth, a Puritan who emigrated to Boston on the Lion in 1632. Captain Joseph Wadsworth helped to write the Connecticut constitution. The Wadsworths married into the Westons of New York; Harding Weston and Mary Parker were Pound's maternal grandparents. After serving in the military, Harding remained unemployed, so his brother Ezra Weston and Ezra's wife, Frances Amelia Wessells Freer (Aunt Frank), helped to look after Isabel, Pound's mother. No oliko Pound sitten sukua myös Henry "setelitukun väärti" Longfellowille? Varmaan niin.
ellauri181.html on line 595: Franklin then took his list to a respected friend who happened to be a Quaker. Franklin explained to his Quaker friend that he, Franklin, was disappointed in the progress in his life to this point and that he intended to turn his life around. From now on Franklin intended to live his life according to his list of virtues. Each day he would read the list and each week he would focus on a different virtue. Repeating the process over and over again until he had become one with his virtues.
ellauri181.html on line 597: Franklin´s Quaker friend asked him one question. "Ben are you serious? Because you sure aren't these things now."
ellauri181.html on line 598: Franklin explained that he was indeed serious and that he knew he was far from these virtues now. But he aspired to become one with the twelve virtues he had listed and described. His Quaker friend went on then to say. "Ben, if you are serious you need to add a thirteenth virtue. Humility. Because you don't have any."
ellauri181.html on line 618: How then might we learn from Franklin's example? Yes, can we learn that we should only be bothered with what matters most to us. Yes! Perhaps the single most important lesson in life would be that we must learn what matters most to us! A lesson to you oversears teachers: model what you would teach, because you teach first by modeling. Teach what you would live but remember the failure of Ben's Quaker friend. It is not possible to give someone a value they would not own.
ellauri322.html on line 106: At an early period⁠—little more than sixteen years of age, raw and adventurous, and heated with the false heroism of a master who had served in a man-of-war⁠—I began the carver of my own fortune, and entered on board the Terrible Privateer, Captain Death. From this adventure I was happily prevented by the affectionate and moral remonstrance of a good father, who, from his own habits of life, being of the Quaker profession, must begin to look upon me as lost.
ellauri390.html on line 223: "Mysterit" sai alkunsa Eugène Suen hurjasti menestyneestä sarjaromaanista Pariisin mysteerit (1842), jolla oli monia jäljittelijöitä ja joka antoi genrelle nimensä. Romaanit julkaistiin yleensä ensimmäisen kerran sanomalehdissä, ja ne olivat kiistanalaisia ​​(kuten heidän vähemmän kunnioitettavat aikalaisensa penny dreadfuls) väkivallan ja sexuaalisen poikkeavuuden poikkeuxellisen rehellisen kuvauksen vuoksi. Ne olivat laajalti suosittuja sekä Euroopassa että Yhdysvalloissa, missä The Quaker City (1844) piti kaunokirjallisuuden bestsellerin titteliä, kunnes Uncle Tom´s Cabin päihitti sen kuin Elmer Kuorikka Jalmarin lyhytaikaisen kuulaennätyxen.
ellauri391.html on line 655: Kveekarit (koko nimi Ystävien Uskonnollinen Seura Kveekarit, engl. Quakers, Religious Society of Friends) on Englannissa 1600-luvulla perustettu protestanttinen liike. Sen jäsenet kutsuvat itseään ”totuuden ystäviksi” tai ”ystävien seuraksi”. Yhteisö syntyi vallitsevan poliittisen ja uskonnollisen sorron aikana. George Foxia pidetään kveekariliikkeen perustajana, jonka käsityksen mukaan Jumala läpivalaisee jokaisen sielun erikseen eikä pelastumiseen tarvita pappeja tai muita ulkopuolisia tahoja. Yhteisö pitää itseään suoraan Jumalan alaisena. Kveekareihin kuuluu maailmassa noin 400 000 jäsentä, Ison-Britannian lisäksi muun muassa Yhdysvalloissa, Keniassa ja Boliviassa. Suurin yhteisö on Yhdysvalloissa William Pennin vuonna 1682 kveekarien pakopaikaksi perustamassa Pennsylvaniassa. Kveekarit ovat perustaneet useita tunnettuja ja suuria yrityksiä Isossa-Britanniassa ja USA:ssa. Kveekarien uskonnollisuuden ohjaamaa yritystoimintaa kutsutaan kveekarikapitalismiksi.

She stated, "Religion seems to me one of the most interesting things in life, one of the most puzzling, richest and thrilling fields of human thought and speculation... religious experience and thought need also a light a day and sunshine and a companionable sharing with others of which it seems to me there is generally too little... The Quaker worship at its best seems to me give opportunities for this sort of sharing without profanation."
