Quaker Views On Mysticism #375 Margery Post Abbott


This pamphlet grew from the author's search for ways to interpret and respond to the joyful, but none‐the‐less life shattering, mystical experiences that have changed her life. It considers how Friends today recognize and respond to the guidance of the Inward Light of Christ and describes varying Quaker views on mysticism and the mystical, touching upon the need to continually test leadings in the silence of Quaker worship and in the arms of Quaker community. In the mid‐1990s, the author interviewed Friends in the United States and Britain about many aspects of their faith, including their understanding of mysticism. Her writing draws on her own experience and the experience of those whom she interviewed. About the Author Margery Abbott is a "released Friend" currently writing and traveling in the ministry among Friends, with the support of Multnomah Monthly Meeting in Portland, Oregon. She is periodically drawn to speak or lead workshops at various venues in the United States and Britain, but her primary focus is on writing about Friends. "What is a Friend?" is the question that informs much of her work. Who are these fervent evangelicals, unorthodox Christians (such as herself), Jewish Quakers and occasional atheists who are among the approximately 300,000 Quakers in the world? Marge has grown in her own faith by making connections across the divides that too often separate those Friends. What started as a call to the ministry has become a leading to undertake substantial study and writing about the Religious Society of Friends. Her books on Quaker understanding of perfection and on travel in the ministry reflect the commonalities she finds when we listen with God present.


Henry J. Cadbury: Scholar, Activist, Disciple


#376 Margaret Hope Bacon Henry Joel Cadbury was one of the most respected and beloved Quakers of the twentieth century. His accomplishments and commitments reached into many worlds. He was widely acknowledged as an author and as a biblical scholar and translator of the highest order; a professor who challenged students' thinking in the halls of Harvard Divinity School, Haverford and Bryn Mawr Colleges and Pendle Hill; and the consummate Quaker activist. A strong and steady voice for peace and racial justice, he lived his faith through social action. For Henry Cadbury, that activism was expressed principally through the American Friends Service Committee, of which he was a founder and long‐time board chair. Eminent Quaker historian Margaret Hope Bacon, who was Henry Cadbury's associate at AFSC for many years, draws upon her unique perspective to acquaint readers with his full and rich life. About the Author Margaret Hope Bacon is the author of fifteen books of biography, history, memoir and fiction, all concerning Quaker subjects. She worked for the American Friends Service Committee for twenty‐two years in information services and is past president and currently a member of the Friends Historical Association. She has served Pendle Hill in many capacities, including as a Friend in Residence, teacher and member of the Publications Committee.
