Book Description

Excerpt from Rules of Discipline of the Yearly Meeting: Of Friends, Held in Philadelphia As it hath pleased the Lord in these latter days, by his spirit and power, to gather a people to himself; and, releasing them from the impositions and teachings of men, to inspire them with degrees of the same universal love and good will by which the dispensation of the gospel was ushered in, - these have been engaged to meet together for the worship of God in Spirit, according to the direction of the holy Lawgiver; as also for the exercise of a tender care over each other, that all may be preserved in unity of faith and practice, answerable to the description which He the ever-blessed Shepherd gave of his flock, "By this shall all men know that ye are my disciples, if ye have love one to another." John xiii. 35. For this important end, and as an exterior hedge of preservation to us, against the many temptations and dangers, to which our situation in this world ex poses us, the following rules have been occasionally adopted by the Society, and now form our code of discipline.

Book Description

Excerpt from Principles, Advices and Rules of Discipline of Baltimore Yearly Meeting of Friends: Held on Park Avenue It is the belief of the Religious Society of Friends that God manifested himself in Jesus Christ, and that the Spirit which was in Jesus is revealed in the human Soul and constitutes the Rock on which the Church is founded, and it became evident at an early date that those so believing should meet together for the consolation and strength of one another. Pursuant to the design of the Gospel, the nature of which is to produce peace on earth and good will to men, a care arose that the Church should prosper in Righteousness and its members act in Christian harmony, and that they should ever be mindful of the declaration which He, the blessed Shepherd, made to his flock, "By this shall all men know that ye are my disciples, if ye have love one to another."
