Quaker Views Of Jesus/Christ: Historic And Current

BARNEGAT – Join the Barnegat Friends and guests Bill and Marty Smith by Zoom or in person on June 4 at 1 p.m., Barnegat Friends Meeting House 614 East Bay Avenue, Barnegat. Register at: barnegatquakers.tiny.us/BillandMartySmith.

Bill Smith will present the views of Jesus and Christ in the early Society of Friends, which contemporary “Christians” thought was heresy. Barclay and Penn later modified the view of Friends to be more in line with others. During the Quietist period, Friends emphasized peculiarities but were influenced by the Great Awakenings and Enlightenment. In the late 19th century, Friends were diverted into orthodox Christian and rationalist views of Jesus/Christ, which created the current formal grouping in North America.

Marty Smith will talk about how Friends viewed Christ/Jesus from the mid-20th century up to the present. She will include Evangelical Friends as well as Liberal Friends with emphasis on the views of individual Friends and communal Philadelphia Yearly Meeting.
