A Gathering Of Spirits: The Friends General Conferences 1896-1950

This book follows the development of FGC's Conferences from 1896 to 1950, beginning with a chapter tracing the trajectory of Hicksite Friends through the 19th century. It shows that a proto-liberal, progressive element was part of the Seeker scene that became Friends in the 1650s, and that the Great Separation among American Friends in the 1820s freed that element to chart its own course, with great fruitfulness.
