.

I recently learned that 'some' of my ancestors (in this case, the JOB family) were Quakers.


Would anyone have information and/or experience with the
Quaker faith?

I embrace the Open View.
I hope this isn't a silly question; but, I wonder if anyone would know how Quaker 'theology' compares with other Christian beliefs and/or worldviews -- such as Open Theism??

Thank you...

Peace & blessings,

Fundamental to Quaker belief is what is called "the inner light." Though the founder and primary organizer of the Quakers, George Fox, would be an evangelical by today's standards, his spiritual descendants have broken off into at least two groups: Liberals and evangelicals.

You might do a search for the above terms. For in-depth study of the roots of Quakerism, I would recommend George Fox's Journal. In my opinion, Fox would fit in very well philosophically with the Open View of the future.

I believe that Richard Foster and Dallas Willard are Quakers who embrace the Open View. I also believe that Ron Sirkel (who is a member on this forum) is also a Quaker as well as an Open Theist. You should be abvle to contact him through his webpage:

If your beliefs cannot be supported by Scripture, they ain't worth supporting
