Children and Quakerism is a comprehensive study of the role of children in the Society of Friends, commonly known as Quakers. The author, Walter Joseph Homan, explores the Quaker philosophy and practice regarding children's education, participation in worship, and social activities. He examines the historical development of Quakerism and its impact on the treatment of children, including the belief in the inherent worth and dignity of every individual. Homan also discusses contemporary Quaker practices and the challenges facing the community in the modern world. This book is an essential resource for anyone interested in the Quaker faith, as well as those interested in the role of children in religious communities.This study is an attempt to describe both the theories which underlay the Friends' deep concern for children, and the ways in which these theories were manifested in the life and practice of the Society. Contents: children in the thought and life of the early Friends; education of children before 1737; religious experiences of children; birthright membership; associate membership; children and Quakerism; bibliography.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
