Let Your Lives Speak
Three hundred years ago a man strode across the English countryside, and in the vigor and power of his passing, a new spiritual movement was born. It was in 1652 that George Fox, shoemaker, shepherd, felt so deeply the necessity to tell of the Truth and Light within that he brought his message wherever groups would hear him. Many who listened were ready and waiting for such a voice. Small earnest groups had met together in silent searching. Their eagerness caught fire at the flame brought by Fox and his friends.
Among those who joined the group was Margaret Fell, wife of Judge Fell of Swarthmoor Hall. Their home became a haven for early Friends, and Margaret was of the number whose courageous stand for Truth brought imprisonment and persecution. Eleven years after the death of Judge Fell, Margaret married George Fox.
In the summer of 1952 Quakers from many countries gathered at Oxford, England for the Tercentenary Conference of the Religious Society of Friends. While their primary endeavor was to renew their own experience of the Light and to assess their mission in today’s world, in their thoughts they turned often to the past.
In this pamphlet an English Quaker recreates for us some of the happenings of 1652 in the northwest country where she makes her home and calls attention to the meanings and challenges for us in the vitality of those early days.
