Religious Society Of Friends
Burlington's first European settlers were members of the Religioussociety of friends, or Quakers. Religious society of friends.
http://08016.com/quakers.html

Extractions: The Quakers The first Europeans to settle Burlington were members of the Religious Society of Friends, also known as Quakers. Founded by George Fox in seventeenth-century England, the Friends quickly met with persecution for their refusal to bear arms, take oaths, and pay tithes. Less than a quarter-century after the Society was founded, Friends began leaving England for the religious freedom of America. More than one third of those originally purchasing land in Burlington had been fined or imprisoned for their beliefs in England. Even as their ship, the Kent, sailed down the Thames River, King Charles II boarded it from his royal barge and wished them a safe voyage. As the King's own laws led to much of the abuse the Quakers received in England, this blessing is usually viewed as a polite "go away," at best. Since 1677, Burlington has been the home of many Friends, including
Richmond Declaration Of Faith Of 1887 - QuakerInfo.com
The Richmond Declaration of Faith of 1887 is the classic statement of faith of the Orthodox branch of the Religious society of friends (Quakers).
http://www.quakerinfo.com/rdf.shtml

Extractions: var site="sm1QuakerInfo" Declaration of Faith Issued by the Richmond Conference in 1887 Section Links EXPLANATORY NOTE: A conference of 95 delegates appointed by 12 Friends (Quaker) yearly meetings representing the Orthodox branch of Friends across the world met in Richmond, Indiana in September 1887. This conference issued a Declaration of Faith , which has been widely used by Orthodox Friends ever since. This is one of the three major doctrinal documents for Orthodox Friends. The others are the Letter to the Governor of Barbadoes and Essential Truths (N.B. It should be understood that the quotations from Scripture are made from the Authorized Version unless stated to be from the Revised Version.) It is under a deep sense of what we owe to Him who has loved us that we feel called upon to offer a declaration of those fundamental doctrines of Christian truth that have always been professed by our branch of the Church of Christ. We believe in one holy, (Isa. 6:3, 58:15) almighty, (Gen. 17:1) all-wise, (Rom. 11:33, 16:27) and everlasting (Ps 90:1-2) God, the Father, (Matt 11:25-27) the Creator (Gen 1:1) and Preserver (Job 7:20) of all things; and in Jesus Christ, His only Son, our Lord, by whom all things were made, (John 1:30) and by whom all things consist; (Col 1:17) and in one Holy Spirit, proceeding from the Father and the Son, (John 15:26, 16:7) the Reprover (John 16:8) of the world, the Witness for Christ, (John 15:26) and the Teacher, (John 14:26) Guide, (John 16:13) and Sanctifier (2 Thess 2:13) of the people of God; and that these three are one in the eternal Godhead; (Matt 28:19, John 10:30, 17:21) to whom be honor, praise, and thanksgiving, now and forever. Amen.

Extractions: The case of a Mulatto woman, who had applied for membership with Friends, came before the meeting: a committee had been appointed to visit her, and reported their satisfaction as to her convincement but thought it unsafe to receive her on account of her colour! After much discussion it was at last concluded to refer the matter to the Quarterly Meeting. How hard it is to overcome old prejudices. (70) From Rahway and Plainfield Monthly Meeting, we are informed that Cynthia Myers, a Mulatto woman, had applied to be received into membership with them, had been visited by a committee from their meeting, who made a favorable report respecting her, yet as they could not fully unite in judgment in her case, it was referred to this Meeting where claiming our solid attention, and many friends expressing their sentiments thereon, it was thought best to refer it to the Yearly Meeting as friends here could not unite in the propriety of receiving The (sic) without the concurrence of that meeting (71)

Joining The Religious Society Of Friends
Joining the Religious society of friends. The Religious society of friendsis better known for its peace testimony than for anything else.
http://www.danddhitchin.u-net.com/Quakers/Joining.htm

Extractions: Joining the Religious Society of Friends Meeting for Worship is open to all, but not everyone present at Meeting is a member of the Religious Society of Friends. Eventually most attenders begin to consider if and when they should apply for membership. This page deals with some of the questions which may arise. It is one person's view, and other people would probably emphasise different points, but as a whole it has the approval of the Elders of Lewes Meeting. How the present practice developed Until this century, new members were generally the children of Quakers, acquiring their membership as 'birthright' Friends. This is no longer possible, but there are still many Friends who were born into the Society. Parents may still, if they wish, apply to have a child (aged less than sixteen years) admitted into membership. On reaching the age of sixteen the child may then write to the Monthly Meeting Clerk to indicate a personal acceptance. Friends are aware that many such young people will prefer to defer such a decision, and many who as teenagers show little interest in the Society return to it in their twenties, thirties, or later. Those joining from outside were 'convinced' Friends. The procedure for joining was simple. The applicant wrote a letter to the Clerk of the Monthly Meeting which then appointed two Friends to visit, and their report was the basis for the decision as to whether they should be accepted. The procedures for application, for visiting, and the decision-making of the Monthly Meeting will be described in more detail later.

Extractions: A Quaker's Witness It is Christ, the Word who delivers us from sin, not the words of scripture. No pope nor pastor can tell you God's will for your life. There is no physical bread nor wine that can purify your soul. God's house cannot be built with human hands. There is one, even Christ Jesus who can speak to thy condition! This is the foundation of Christianity, it is what has done away with the law of sin, to write God's law on our hearts. This is the truth that ended the hireling priesthood, for Christ Himself is our Sacrifice and our Mediator. This is the Grace the sets aside our past sins, and the Power that can transform us, engraft us to Christ, that we may by His blood become meek and pure and bear the fruit of salvation.

http://members.tripod.com/~Quaker_Witness/history.html

Extractions: In seventeenth century England, religion was a central concern not only of individuals but of the State. The civil government, whether king or parliament, chose which denomination to establish. As temporal power changed hands in vicious civil wars, sometimes Catholics, sometimes The Church of England, sometimes Puritans ruled the land. Each faction, when it had the power, insisted that all subjects attend its worship, adhere to its theology, and pay its tithes. The established church was a broker of wealth and power to its clergy, who vied for rich parishes. Dissenters were persecuted severely. Many priests or ministers were hypocritical if not corrupt - busy climbing higher on the backs of their parishioners rather than humbly serving them. But a new Spirit was afoot. The Bible was becoming widely published and read in common English (this is when the King James Bible was produced) and the laity was beginning to seek the truth, rather than just accepting what the established church of the moment declared the truth to be. Around 1650, a number of these seekers rediscovered the fundamentals of primitive Christianity. At first, they called themselves, the innocent people of God, or, Friends of the Truth. Theirs was a revolutionary discovery which challenged not only the specific tenets of all the other Christian sects, it challenged the fundamental nature or all religions which were, made by hands.
