Quakerism Gospel Order, and the search for it, has shaped the Quaker experiences since George Fox. In this series of essays, Lloyd Lee Wilson explores the concept of Gospel Order as understood by early Quakers and contemporary Conservative Friends. Each essay addresses a facet of the faith and practice of Friends, articulating the ways in which Friends vision of Gospel Order has shaped their beliefs as well as their outward lives. This season Friends and readers new to Quakers will find these essays helpful to their understanding of this "peculiar people." “God, as understood in the Judeo-Christian tradition, works with and though his chosen people to carry out the divine plan for this part of creation on which we live. In clearly a subordinate way, we become co-workers with God to bring the world closer to its intended condition. To accomplish this, God bestows on each faith community the spiritual gifts that community needs to do God’s will.” no reviews | add a review
