Review of 'Elias Hicks, Quaker liberal.' on 'Goodreads'

Everyone in FGC should borrow this from their Meeting's library. It does a great job of showing the origins of Liberal Quakerism and how far things have changed from the days of being called Hicksites.

Contrary to what one might assume, the Hicksite/Liberal branch was originally made up of country Friends who preferred adherence to the Discipline while leaving theology an open question.
