""A Beacon To The Society Of Friends"" is a book written by Isaac Crewdson and originally published in 1835. The book is a critique of the Society of Friends, also known as the Quakers, and their practices and beliefs. Crewdson was a member of the Society of Friends himself, but he had become disillusioned with some of its teachings and wanted to spark a conversation about reform.The book covers a range of topics, including the role of women in the Society of Friends, the use of plain dress and speech, and the practice of silent worship. Crewdson argues that the Society of Friends has become too rigid in its adherence to these practices and that they are hindering the growth and progress of the organization.Crewdson also takes issue with the way that the Society of Friends handles disputes and disagreements. He believes that the practice of shunning, or cutting off contact with those who have been deemed to have violated the rules of the Society, is harmful and counterproductive.Overall, ""A Beacon To The Society Of Friends"" is a thought-provoking critique of the Society of Friends and its practices. While some members of the Society may have found the book controversial or even offensive, it sparked an important conversation about the need for reform and adaptation in religious organizations.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
