The author interprets the practices of the Society Friends in his time. The pamphlet was originally released in 1943. This is the 1993 revision. (It was revised and reprinted in 1950, 1993, and 2006.) This Pendle Hill Pamphlet is roughly twice as long as a typical one (70 pp), but is full of "then and now" ways Friends operate. Originally published in 1943, it was revised in 1950 and again in 1993. It was republished in 2006. Two items really stood out for me. Of "queries," Brinton wrote that they "have never been concerned with theological opinions but only behavior" (52). I had never looked at them from that standpoint. I will from now on. Brinton uses as a sub-header "Certificates of Removal." I have never heard this term and plan to ask Tom Hamm about it. My understanding has been that the current meeting must decide whether or not to transfer a member and the new meeting must accept that decision. This is discussed on pp 49 and 50. Brinton writes, "The meeting to which the certificate is sent is under no obligation to receive such persons into membership and should make careful inquiries regarding them before accepting them." He then speaks of "sojourning" memberships, and finally, ends the section stating (with no other explanation) "Requests for the transfer of membership should first come to the attention of overseers." ingen anmeldelser | tilføj en anmeldelse
