A (very) brief history of Quakers
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 23 июл 2024
- Many people seem to get Quakers confused with Amish or Shakers or even Mormons, so the Young Friends of Richmond VA decided to make a video to help clear things up a little bit. This is all about Quaker history (which actually has very little to do with Amish and Shaker and Mormon history).
Originally the video was going to be called "What is Quakerism," but that turned out to be way too big of a project, at least for now. I worked with the Young Friends on this video for six months or so, studying some important moments in Quaker history and generally having a good time.
Our "animation" style was inspired by an epipheo video with Tim Ferriss, and we also would like to thank Jon Watts for being the patron saint of quaker youtube videos. Music by Kelly Kennedy and others. Barb Adams, the clerk of Religious Education at Richmond Friends Meeting, drew everyone together to make this happen.
Nice video. I just found out that my great-grandfather (x6 or so) was friends with George Fox and donated land for the Third Haven Meeting House in downtown Easton in 1682.
I can tell ur lying becuz ur great grandparents were not around a total of 400 years ago aa

I have seen documentarys and the Quakers were very good to their workers, also they helped people in Ireland during the great starvation .I am a roman catholic
LOVE! Thank you for your hard work to make such a great, informative and interesting video!
Excellent info wise and the graphics make it delightful, novel to watch.
Agree. This video was very creative and unique! I enjoyed the off-screen voices, too.
My best friend is a Quaker and I've always wanted to look into the religion more, this helped a lot
bullshit
@@ASpecialKindOfMan lol why?
We learned a lot and really really enjoyed how it was put together. Clever, fun, and educational.
Hehe! Thank you so much! I'm thinking of going to a Quaker meeting and this was so lovely to watch.
I adore the ease w which these artists express some rather opaque & rusty concepts such as absolute equality & pacifism @least to our contemporaries!
This is so well made!! Can't believe I'm only finding it now. Bravo
this is awesome. I am a descendant of the jacob family, of the historic richmond home.
Dear fellow Young Friends, you are all awesome! Thank you for making this really cool video. I love you!
What a great introduction, i admit i've always wanted to know more and possibly even attend a meeting locally. What really got me on this again was noticing a local meeting house was sponsoring narcan training so here i am...falling down an internet hole. thank you so much!
Thanks for this! Very well done! Great animation style! Just one correction: Quakers aren't so much into "everyone doing their own thing," without leaders, but more about listening for the authority that flows from the Spirit, and letting that authority lead us, as a community. Can't wait to see what aspect of Friends' faith, practice, or history your next video focuses on! Blessings!
Very informative, great format!
One notable correction: the four "Boston martyrs" were hanged, not burnt at the stake.
With the possible exception of some actions taken by the state governments of Missouri and maybe Illinois against the early Mormons, the Boston martyrdoms represent the only time in American history when people were put to death by an American government solely on account of their religious affiliation.
Great job and enlightening for me. Thank you to all that put it together.
👍 Thank you. I like they way you guys put this video together. It's also informative. I'm seeking...🤔
Awesome! Well done! I enjoyed that immensely
I'm including this in my JH US history lessons, this is a pretty fun video. Well done.
Cute video. I like it. I'm impressed with the Quakers attitude of tolerance and commitment to making the world a better place here and now. Way to go!

Thank you!
I underestimated what I would see here...awesome....AWESOME video,,thank you
Very good video! Caught and kept my children's attention.
Genius! Thanks Richmond Friends Meeting! And if you liked this video and you are looking for more Quaker-related videos to watch, we hope you'll check out our channel! We release a new one every week.
My first time learning about Quakers. If Quakers are really pacifists I am going to the meetings to learn more!
Thank you and bless you for sharing.
John 15 is one of my favorite chapters.
Is that where you get your "Friends" (of Light, and of Truth) from?
Yes, you ARE the light, attracting more light as you go...
I like this video. Its got succinct info and I like how it was "animated" and you got the sound bites perfect with the "puppet" show. I tried watching another video on Quakers...but it was a bunch of vague words and people sitting in comfy chairs going "um". I mean bullet points people! Use them! Long story short *high five*
nicely done. Personally, I think a lot of the confusion comes from the box-design of Quaker Oatmeal featuring William Penn's likeness. I'd like it if they chose another Quaker to feature...James Dean would be pretty cool :)
bahaha this is awesome and informational, love it!
Very well done. I am a fan of this video.
great vid, solid into to the Quaker Friends...I'm hooked...
Nice presentation style.
THIS IS SO GOOD how do you only have 300 subscribers
very kind of you to say!
Nicely done ! thank you!

THANKSGIVING THOUGHT VII: DICK’S QUAKER HERITAGE
I’m still on my Thanksgiving high. My initial TG FaceBook rant of yesterday, was largely inspired by Sunday dinners in the farm house of my Quaker grandparent’s (mama’s side). But I knew essentially nothing about Quaker’s except that they had no preacher, no sermons (members of the congregation just spoke when the spirit moved them), and no baptism. So while Googling a pop song about Quakers from before my day, I ran across this nice little piece; and now I’m an expert. It’s worth checking out.
The appeal of the Quaker philosophy is limited by the ingrained ignorance of most human beings, particularly those who are besotted by the shiny trinkets of mindless materialism. Being a Quaker asks a person to be an exceptional human being, allowing the Light of God to dwell in the most serene stillness of one's heart.
You refer to people you've never met and don't even know, using words like "mindless" "ignorance" and "besotted by shiny trinkets". While referring to yourself and your friends as "'exceptional human beings".
Perhaps there would be value for you in focussing a little more on the Quaker values of HUMILITY and EQUALITY. Unfortunately it appears Quakerism hasn't helped you manage your ego.
That's not very quakerly of you!
Thanks it really helped my great video
What a cool video. Thanks.
Aw, this is great! I'm just learning about my Quaker heritage (John & Lofty Sotcher) and I'm considering going to a meeting although I'm an atheist (considered myself a compassionate pragmatist). I'm a little torn since I've always had disdain for organized religion due to rampant hypocrisy, so I'm not sure if I am the kind of Friend that is required. I'd love feedback. Thanks, sweet people!
Give it a try or you'll never know. Quakers can be evangelical but many meetings are very accepting of all persuasions, religious or not.
Awesome !!!
how long idoes a auaker service last?
Renee Smith De Cozen
From our birth until we die!
I mean, how long does the church meeting last.?
usually an hour
Well, this is good and informative and I've been a Quaker/Friend for 38 years; ssshhhh
And that is why freedom, equality and liberty is founded in the new world..
I thought it was about oatmeal at first -.-
James was my ancestor, very interesting character.
I want to know everything
Nice vid
watched this in class today I couldn't stop laughing no offence especially the beats dancing bit XD
Very clever, like it
thanx kids you rock ⭐️
Cute video. And enlightening
nice
Nice.
You should do Elementary School assemblies. I'm dead serious.
Quakers = the most awesome people ever
Dancers tiss tiss tiss
I like what I hear of the Quakers; they sound better than the Amish.
Yeah, me too, I had no idea what they were besides a type of Christian. They sound a bit like Christian democratic-socialists, I like them. _Much_ better than the Amish.
Pat Melton no one is better in my opinion but definitely different
I just learned that I come from German quakers who moved to America possibly to escape world war 2
Can a person who is a Roman Catholic also be a Quaker?
My opinion: if you listen to that "still, small voice" and simply let go of everything else in your mind, you are practicing the heart of Quakerism. Go to a meeting and listen. All else flows from that. Just listen. When you truly listen you will act from that "inner light" - which is love. You may start to get the sense that your eyes are not merely windows to the soul, but windows through which "god" looks OUT unto the world...because he's inside you.
+RodCornholio I remember provoking a fight with a Quaker at 10 or 12 years old the fight was over in less than 30 seconds I was thrown on the ground with my hands stretched out and he said are you going to quit or are you going to try and keep starting a fight in that position I know he could have hit me hard but he didn't I just said no I won't fight anymore.He let me up and it was over. that really impressed me I found out later he was a Quaker. that's been my impression of a Quaker all of my life. so I guess putting your enemy on their back and using some restraint is Peaceable.
I describe myself as a Judeo-Quaker, I've been going to Quaker meeting for forty years. But I have also been attending my local Liberal Synagogue for the last fifteen. I never feel more Quakerly than when I'm in synagogue, or more Jewish when I'm in meeting.

No!
From Quaker Faith and Practice:
Even if it were possible to be a member of every church at once, there would still be incompleteness; the infinite fullness of God will always exceed our powers of understanding and obedience, even our powers to receive vision and joy. Dual membership for me is not a formula whereby I may find satisfaction because to be both a Friend and a United Reformed Church minister has all the gaps of one tradition filled by the other, though it is certainly a practice in which there is a great and satisfying measure of complementarity. Membership is rather a commitment, and membership of the People of God is a total commitment. But it is a fact of this earthly life that the total claim of God must be expressed in the actual and limited claim of those people with whom in fact life is shared. It has been my tremendous privilege and joy to find myself so committed in two communities, receiving from each more than I could well express and believing I am called to give in each whatever God enables.

did they help abolish slavery. now i know the history of slavery was not just by europeans, other continents did it too. so not just limited to europeans im afraid
Why would new aged Quaker’s help form a new patriot party?
Hi, can you give more context on this? it's the first I've heard
Thanks all! And I thought that the Quaker Oats Man was the only Quaker saint! I might be wrong there........ Had a good laugh watching your video (no offence intended) I'm a strange combination of Orthodox Roman Catholic and... Me? Point being, my girlfriend is a Quaker....... And my best friend (his name is Jim) grew up as a "friend...." Strange bed fellows? Yes. Let's just hope that the three of us never end up in the same bed....... That would be strange. All the best, thanks for the info and the laugh- Pax-
Will Rogers; Interesting! Are one of you Thai? I saw on an arm the word; skin or movie! I am not sure which one your relate to because; it's on the skin & you are making a movie!?
A harmless flock!
I THOUGHT THIS WAS GONNA BE ABOUT OATMEAL 😂
I'm going to join the Dancers, not the Quakers!
I got here from the cadbury family (chocolate)
Go RVA Quakers!
Say ye'd getta could night sleep in those jail cells😜, say Quakers would be great cell mates.
Who else is doing this for 5th grade social studies homework
This is the cutest shit
OATS
Are Quakers Catholic or Protestant
If I'm not incorrect they were protestant, though I'm not entirely sure
@@smorcrux426 oh because I have Quaker ancestors, That I was told were Catholic
+1 to @smorcrux's answer, yes quakers are protestant, split off from the Church of England, a protestant joint. Not impossible for somebody to think of themselves as Quaker+Catholic, although it's rare
Quakers originally left England for the New World with a missionary agenda. They had suffered some persecution (no more than other radical religious groups of the time!) By 1660 there were more than 20,000 Quaker converts in England so they were still going strong. The only reason they achieved this when other groups such as the Diggers, Levellers etc.. lost support was because of their evangelical approach and missionary work.
Friends, be stronger than some of the ignorant generalizations and judgment shown below by people outside of our community who don't understand what they speak about. Their ignorance blinds them.
Cute.
Accepting “Family” as the 10th.Testimony
The Quaker testimonies of Equality and Justice have failed in the family. Fathers and children are at a disadvantage with many having been lost to each other. 45% of UK school age children do not now live under the same roof as their father.
Quakers and their testimonies constitute a feminist/woke institution that does not accept this as being a problem, never addressing it. It is more likely to do so if “Family” is accepted as a Testimony on the understanding that children’s natural maturation process has 3 essential stages of need.
A. The unconditional love of the mother from birth until about 7 years of age.
The mother must have “thefinalsay”
B. The conditional love of the father, who takes his children out into the world, gives security and teaching social boundaries from 7 until about 13 years of age.
The father must have “thefinalsay”.
C.The friendship and respect of their peers from 13 until 18 years of age.
The child must have “thefinalsay”.
If these 3 stages are not sequence in order, maturation is unlikely to be achieved and mental resilience reduced. This has now become generational.
Such a regime of equal and just parenting rights (over time) would bind parents into a co-operative relationship, because (over time) each will hold the power of “thefinalsay” sequentially when it is needed and best favoured to use it.
Such family protocols need to be the default position, (allowing love, courtesy and humour to prevail) but could in exceptional cases be varied by the courts.
Buckminster Fuller said:-
“You never change things by fighting the existing reality. To change something, build a new model that makes the existing model obsolete”.
To alleviate suffering is worthy. To prevent it is divine, but thankless.
not far from being a Mormon.......
true dat! there are a couple pretty substantial differences, including a strong representation of women leaders, right from the start, and the lack of any central temple or global "council of elders"
Why couldn’t Darrow Hand fight Mark Nikotopolis when Darrow got older? Cry baby.
Good but the females guilty of sloppy, annoying speaking. Please speak clearly and enunciate properly, and don't pepper sentences with the word "like" everywhere, so juvenile.
