Explore the roots and fallout of a historic split among American Friends, and how it shaped property and power within the Quaker family. This volume examines the causes behind the separation of the Religious Society of Friends in America in the early 19th century, with a focus on the ensuing property disputes and efforts at reconciliation.
This work presents a clear, documentary account of how the two factions—often labeled Orthodox and Hicksites—navigated questions of doctrine, governance, and communal wealth. It traces the negotiations, committees, and minutes that sought to balance faith with fairness, showing how disagreements over belief and practice collided with real-world concerns about land, meeting houses, and legacies.

Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book examines the reasons for a deep and painful separation that occurred within the Society of Friends in the United States during the years 1827 and 1828. It was a time of intense controversy in which the Society's doctrines and practices were fiercely debated. Amidst the turmoil, there emerged two distinct factions. One faction, composed of prominent Quakers, vehemently opposed the growing influence of evangelical Protestantism within the Society. The other faction, embracing this new wave of religious fervor, sought to align the Society more closely with mainstream Protestant denominations. The book traces the origins of this division to differing interpretations of Quakerism's core principles, particularly regarding the authority of the Bible, the role of the Holy Spirit, and the nature of salvation. By exploring the historical context and theological underpinnings of this schism, this book provides valuable insights into the complex dynamics of religious movements and the challenges they face in adapting to changing times while preserving their core beliefs.
