George Fox's Transformation - Part 3

This video offers an overview of the text featured on the last two steps, bringing out five key aspects of George Fox’s thought and how that would shape the Quaker movement he would go on to found.

The five aspects are that:

a) spiritual experience is at the heart of the Quaker faith and has the greatest authority, not text, tradition or church;

b) for the first Quakers, true religion is inward (we return to this next week);

c) Fox is clear that everyone can have the kind of transforming experience he has had;

d) everyone is spiritually equal;

e) this is not a religious option but that Quakers are clear that they represent the true church.
