Produktbeschreibung
The two addresses which compose this book were delivered at the Five Years Meeting of the Society of Friends held in Indianapolis, Indiana, from October 15th to 22nd, 1912. They were listened to with profound interest and appreciation, and were approved by a Minute which also ordered their publication, in order that the wider group of Friends, and all others who are interested in the message and mission of a religion of this type, might have the opportunity to read them. It is a plain duty of any religious body to put its truths into circulation, and to reinterpret again and again the vital principles by which its members live and work. Here in this little book will be found in convenient form a fresh and illuminating expression of the truths, principles and ideals of present-day Quakerism and some of the practical problems confronting the modern world which the application of these truths, principles and ideals might solve. The reader will discover that the writers live in the Twentieth Century and that they are “speaking to the condition” of the age.

 
Autorenporträt
Henry Theodore Hodgkin (1877-1933) was an influential British Quaker missionary and writer, known for his ecumenical view of Christianity and his emphasis on peace and reconciliation. Hodgkin's contribution to Quaker thought and the broader Christian mission is encapsulated in his seminal work 'The Message and Mission of Quakerism' (1912), which explores the foundational tenets of the Religious Society of Friends (Quakers) and their distinct call to service in the world. In this treatise, he articulates a vision of Quakerism that transcends the confines of sectarianism and champions a universal Christian brotherhood grounded in the Inner Light. Hodgkin's literary style is reflective of his religious convictions, marked by a clarity of thought and simplicity, which are key characteristics of Quaker expression. He sought to convey the relevance of Quaker testimony to the challenges of the modern world, fostering a dialogue on issues of social justice, peace, and spiritual inquiry. His writings contributed significantly to the Quaker peace testimony, notably influencing the formation of the Friends Ambulance Unit during WWI, for which he later served as an administrator. Hodgkin's enduring impact is seen in the way he mentored numerous individuals, his robust engagement in interfaith dialogue, and his passionate advocacy for mission as an embodiment of love and reconciliation.
