Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from A Review of the Public Relations of the Society of Friends: Its Doctrines and Discipline, Its Schisms and Decline I Dedicate the following review to the individual members of the various divisions of the Society of Friends, and especially to men of independent views, who may be disposed candidly to examine the principles upon which religious societies are founded. I have written it with feelings that would not willingly injure the Society, nor wound the tenderest mind. I have believed that the great principles of this Society are obscured by a narrow minded sectarianism; this I have endeavored to demonstrate. I am fully aware of the wrong motives that have been attributed to those who have had the temerity to express doubts of the utility of their discipline as it now exists, and of the practice under it. Men of foregone conclusions will naturally be disposed to condemn. In a limited work, it has not been in my power to make extended quotations. If I have given a wrong view of the sentiments of authors, or have drawn wrong inferences from facts, it is through inadvertence or from a want of perception. While there are different meanings attached to the same word, there will be ambiguity. Morality, strictly speaking, applies to the conduct of men to each other, yet, in common language, moral and religious good are often confounded. I would willingly have avoided any of those designations of the several divisions of the Society of Friends, which they reject, if I had known how else to distinguish them.
