This is what I shared:

Fascinating paper - looking at mental state & thinking & bonds of Quakers. 'Quaker waiting worship can be characterised as a flow state'. Allison goes on to discuss 'communitas': a sense delivered by & sustaining the bond thru spiritual meeting together #QSBirthday #QuakerStudies

First up is Rosemary Moore, "It was the Quakers that Managed to Endure", looking at early Friends and their 'spirtualism' - in the sense that the spirit was in the primacy, and this guided them in reading the Bible #QSBirthday #QuakerStudies

"Fox as founder is guilty of relying on the "myth of founders" that we humans are so tempted by."

After discussing the particulars of "continuing revelation," threshing sessions, clearness committees, and asking open-ended questions, students grouped up and began holding meetings for clearness around their research topics for the class. #quakerstudies

The majority of biographical work zeros in on Fox w/ only slight mentions of Fell & rarely positioning her as a key leader, and better yet, co-founder of the movement.

The closest I can find is Kristianna Polder’s fantastic, “Matrimony in the True Church.”
