Early Quaker Study Group

Our Quaker group began with a study of a tract written by Isaac Penington (1616--1679), titled "Some of the Mysteries of God's Kingdom Glanced At," which can be found at the website of Quaker Heritage Press http://www.qhpress.org/texts/penington/mysteries.html.  Beginning in November 2023, the Penington study met every other week for 34 sessions until the tract had been completed. We then took up a tract by James Nayler (1618--1660) titled "The Lamb's War against the Man of Sin," http://www.qhpress.org/texts/nayler/lambswar.html, and continued with this work for 18 sessions. Presently, we are reading a letter written by Francis Howgill (1616--1669) to his daughter Abigail. All three of these people were first-generation Friends and bore testimony to the empowering light of Christ, which they knew experientially.
