The article examines origins, history of trends, and current development tendencies of the Religious Society of Friends (Quakers), and their religious community. The Quakerism is one of the radical Protestant movements that emerged in the 17th century in England, founded by George Fox. The basic idea behind Quakerism is that God reveals Himself to every person. Development of the Friends Movement and the Quaker idea of spiritual equality are based on this concept. Throughout history, the Quakers have been divided into three main directions: evangelical, conservative, and liberal. A comparison of these directions is made, pointing out the common and the different qualities. There are nine main principles of Quakerism, which in a variety of ways are represented in all the directions of Quakerism. Quakers continue to seek the common and unifying movement of all Quakers. In Quakerism, practice is emphasized more than the fixed doctrines and attention is primarily focused on Quaker testimonies and an active social position. This is possible because Quakerism accentuates concentration on the unity of the sacred and the secular. The Quaker teaching on sacraments and various strategies for explaining Quaker sacramentology are also discussed. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
