Primitive Christianity Revived, Again
I am encouraged and grateful my research into early Quakers is revealing many people within the early Quaker gathering who, through the appearance of the inherent Presence of the spirit of Christ in their consciousness and conscience, were (relatively speaking) drawn out of the process of relating to one another through the process of reflective thought to guide and rule their relationships, interactions, and worship. The nature of this different way of relating to and interacting with other people was such that they were come out of identification with and participation in outward political, religious, social, and economic, formalities, ceremonies, instrumentalities, and institutions; even those godly or comely forms and practices others in the gathering established and found helpful and nurturing through the inshining Light itself in their conscience. This being drawn out of the process of reflective thought in relation to other people led them to make no distinction between godly or ungodly forms and instrumentalities. They were draw out of all political, religious, social, and economic, forms (reflected forms or reflective thought) in relation to other people. It is a blessing and encouraging to share this experience with those who were part of the earliest history of the gathering of Friends and to know this ministration of life, through the appearance of immanent Presence itself in itself inherently sustained in the conscience and consciousness, is still alive today.
