How did a quiet community in nineteenth-century New York order its worship, its decision-making and its everyday conduct? The Discipline of the Society of Friends of New York Yearly Meeting is the official record of that shared Christian life, a classic Quaker book of discipline setting out the Society of Friends rules in clear, measured language. It is concise and clear. Serving as both Christian church discipline manual and practical religious reference handbook, it gathers the agreed principles, procedures and testimonies by which Friends understood church governance and order, from membership and ministry to marriage, Meetings and conduct in the world. This complete Society of Friends discipline, a landmark 19th century Quaker discipline from New York Yearly Meeting, remains a rich reference for Quaker members and enquirers drawn to Quaker faith and practice, as well as a key resource for religious historians exploring historic New York Quakers and the evolution of American Christianity. Whether approached by a casual reader curious about inner light spirituality or by a classic-literature collector building a Quaker discipline collection, it illuminates how Friends sought to live their convictions together in detail and in practice. Out of print for decades and now republished by Alpha Editions. Restored for today's and future generations. More than a reprint - a collector's item and a cultural treasure.
