Society Of Friends
The society of friends of the Allard Pierson Museum was founded before the Second World War, and supported the museum in the first difficult years.
http://cf.uba.uva.nl/apm/friend.html

Extractions: The Society of Friends of the Allard Pierson Museum was founded before the Second World War, and supported the museum in the first difficult years. This Society was not able to maintain its status. In 1969 a new Society was therefore founded, which is at present one of the largest societies of musem friends in the Netherlands, with 1800 members. The Society wants to promote the interest of the public for the museum. To this purpose they organize lectures and bring forth publications. They also collect money for new acquisitions and mediate with private collectors who want to loan or give objects to the museum. With the Society's assistance, all kinds of activities can take place in the museum. All who consider themselves friends of the museum and want to support the purpose of the Society, are warmly invited to become a member. Members have free admittance to the museum and receive the Journals of the Society of Friends [Dutch]. Publications of objects from the museum and information on the exhibitions can be found in the journals. Members are also invited for guided tours, lectures, exhibitions and other activities in the museum. Lastly, the Society offers the use of the library of the Department Mediterranean Archaeology to her members.
Friends (Quakers) And Women, By Bill Samuel - QuakerInfo.com
The attitude of the Religious society of friends (Quakers) towards the ministry of women. Also contains a listing of some Quaker women who have become well known for their ministry.
http://www.quakerinfo.com/quakwomn.shtml

Extractions: Originally published August 1, 1998 at Suite101.com At the beginning of the Friends movement in the 17th century, Friends were controversial for a number of reasons. One of the major ones was the belief of Friends that ministry came through women as well as men. In the early years of the Friends movement, there were a number of Friends traveling in the ministry often called the "Valiant Sixty" (there were actually more than 60 of them). These Friends evangelized Great Britain, Jamaica, what is now the United States, and a number of other places. There were women as well as men in this work. Friends in those years were often beaten and jailed for their witness. In a few cases, they were even executed. Perhaps the most famous Quaker martyr was Mary Dyer . In Boston, a law was passed in 1658 banishing Quakers under "pain of death." When Mary Dyer learned that two of her friends were jailed in Boston, she went to visit them in 1659 and was thrown in jail. She and her friends were released, but assured they would be executed if they returned. Less than a month later, she returned to Boston. She was imprisoned, saw her two friends hanged, and was to be executed herself, but was reprieved at the last moment with the rope around her neck. Still not deterred, she returned yet again and was hung on June 1, 1660.

Extractions: format this article to print RELIGIOUS SOCIETY OF FRIENDS . Few members of the Religious Society of Friends, commonly known as Quakers, were to be found in Texas until after the Civil War. qv Their early opposition to slavery qv led the Friends to bypass the Gulf Coast states. Several monthly meetings (organizational units) of Friends made known their opposition to accepting slaveholding Texas into the Union, primarily because Texas reserved the right to divide into five slave states. Furthermore, a proslavery, antiabolitionist newspaper, the Austin Anti-Quaker qv appeared in March 1842. Several individual Quakers made their way to Texas before the 1870s, however, the most famous being Mifflin Kenedy. qv Early twentieth-century Quaker groups were in Lipscomb County (1910) and in View Point, Texas. Today there are two major Quaker organizations in the state, the Kansas Yearly Meeting, the earlier group, and the South Central Yearly Meeting. In 1964 the Kansas Yearly Meeting sponsored the Friends School in San Antonio. The school, located in the former Southern Christian College buildings, offered education, housing, and guidance to emotionally disturbed children who had been rejected by other child-care agencies. In 1970 approximately eighty students were being cared for. In 1963 the Kansas Meeting Friends joined an interdenominational group and established headquarters in Friendswood for CABCO (the Central African Broadcasting Company), known in Europe and Africa as CORDAC. The station, located in Bujumbura, Burundi, on the northeast shore of Lake Tanganyika, broadcasts daily missionary programs in five languages to a audience possibly as large as ten million.
How Friends (Quakers) Conduct Church Business, By Bill Samuel - QuakerInfo.com
Information on how the Religious society of friends (Quakers) conducts church business its method of decision making.
http://www.quakerinfo.com/quakmfb.shtml

Extractions: Originally published September 1, 2000 at Suite101.com Friends are not to meet [in meetings for business] like a company of people about town or parish business ... but to wait upon the Lord. (George Fox, Letters Friends (Quakers) do many things in a different manner than most do. One of these things is how Friends conduct their church business. In a study on this subject, Beyond Majority Rule (Philadelphia Yearly Meeting of the Religious Society of Friends, 1983), Michael J. Sheeran, S.J. states Friends "...may be the only modern Western community in which decision making achieves the group-centered decisions of traditional societies." Some people, even some Friends, look at the open and participatory aspects of a Friends meeting for business, and conclude it is designed to be democratic. In fact, its intention is not to find what the most people want to do, but to find the will of God for the body that is meeting. Friends decision making is fundamentally theocratic rather than democratic. Friends decision making is a matter of spiritual discernment. It is based on a belief that God's will can be perceived by human beings. Furthermore, it assumes that God speaks consistently to all and therefore that all who genuinely seek the will of God can find unity in what it is.

http://www.rootsweb.com/~engcam/quakers.htm

Extractions: Cambridgeshire - Society of Friends (Quakers) A Christian sect founded (c. 1650) in England by George Fox. They hold that understanding and guidance come directly from 'inward light' of Holy Spirit and that sacrament, and formal worship are unnecessary for Christian life. The Society of Friends was organised in a hierarchy of meetings named from the frequency with which they were convened. At the top was the London Yearly Meeting; below that was the Quarterly Meeting, and below that again the Monthly Meeting . Below this again were the preparative meetings, sometimes called particular meetings or allowed meetings. Registers were generally kept by monthly or quarterly meetings, though a number of the preparative meetings also kept registers. The quarterly meetings were originally akin to counties in their areas, there being separate meetings for Cambridgeshire and Isle of Ely. The general tendency has been for Monthly Meeting s to amalgamate with one another, so that, with a similar tendency in Quarterly Meetings, the Monthly Meeting covered an area beyond that of Cambridgeshire and the Isle of Ely. The registers are held at the County Record Office, Cambridge.

http://library.usask.ca/herstory/quaker.html

Extractions: In contrast with almost every other organized religion, the Society of Friends (Quakers) have allowed women to serve as ministers since the early 1800s. Herstory 1975 noted the work of Quaker ministers Alma G. Dale in Manitoba, and Eliza Brewer's work with the inmates of Kingston Penitentiary. In 1977, Herstory noted that the tradition of equality within the Society of Friends, and her strong faith, helped Emily Jennings Stowe during her long fight for recognition as Canada's first female doctor, and in her organization of the Dominion Women's Enfranchisement League in the 1890s.

Quaker Environmentalism - QuakerInfo.com
Article by Marshall Massey on history and principles of environmental concerns in the Religious society of friends.
http://www.quakerinfo.com/quak_env.shtml

Extractions: Originally published April 1, 1999 at Suite101.com Marshall Massey proposed the creation of the North American Quaker environmental organization the Friends Committee on Unity with Nature in a 1985 plenary address to Friends in California. He helped set up the actual organization at the annual gathering of Friends General Conference two years later. He presently serves as staff for the Environmental Projects Center in Colorado, and leads workshops on witnessing skills for religious and environmental groups. Marshall attends Iowa Yearly Meeting (Conservative) of the Religious Society of Friends (Quakers). Quaker environmentalism is different from most other kinds of religious environmentalism because Quakerism itself is different! And so, to understand the one, we need to start by looking at the other. Now, there are three things in our Quaker tradition that, in my opinion, explain nearly all the striking differences between our Religious Society and most other Christian bodies:

Richmond Declaration Of Faith Of 1887 - QuakerInfo.com
The Richmond Declaration of Faith of 1887 is the classic statement of faith of the Orthodox branch of the Religious society of friends (Quakers).
http://www.quakerinfo.com/rdf.shtml

Extractions: var site="sm1QuakerInfo" Declaration of Faith Issued by the Richmond Conference in 1887 Section Links EXPLANATORY NOTE: A conference of 95 delegates appointed by 12 Friends (Quaker) yearly meetings representing the Orthodox branch of Friends across the world met in Richmond, Indiana in September 1887. This conference issued a Declaration of Faith , which has been widely used by Orthodox Friends ever since. This is one of the three major doctrinal documents for Orthodox Friends. The others are the Letter to the Governor of Barbadoes and Essential Truths (N.B. It should be understood that the quotations from Scripture are made from the Authorized Version unless stated to be from the Revised Version.) It is under a deep sense of what we owe to Him who has loved us that we feel called upon to offer a declaration of those fundamental doctrines of Christian truth that have always been professed by our branch of the Church of Christ. We believe in one holy, (Isa. 6:3, 58:15) almighty, (Gen. 17:1) all-wise, (Rom. 11:33, 16:27) and everlasting (Ps 90:1-2) God, the Father, (Matt 11:25-27) the Creator (Gen 1:1) and Preserver (Job 7:20) of all things; and in Jesus Christ, His only Son, our Lord, by whom all things were made, (John 1:30) and by whom all things consist; (Col 1:17) and in one Holy Spirit, proceeding from the Father and the Son, (John 15:26, 16:7) the Reprover (John 16:8) of the world, the Witness for Christ, (John 15:26) and the Teacher, (John 14:26) Guide, (John 16:13) and Sanctifier (2 Thess 2:13) of the people of God; and that these three are one in the eternal Godhead; (Matt 28:19, John 10:30, 17:21) to whom be honor, praise, and thanksgiving, now and forever. Amen.

Extractions: From the humble beginnings of playing golf then dossing down on Smudger's floor and robbing his drink, the society has graduated to staying in upmarket hotels and robbing their drink. Membership of the Society is restricted to those players who have been invited to, and survived three biffs. It's not the golf but the drinking and the piss taking that's the problem for most people. It is peculiar among golf societies as there aren't actually any rules, but anyone breaking them never gets asked back.
