Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from An Examination of the Causes Which Led to the Separation: Of the Religious Society of Friends in America, in 1827-28
The difficulty and delicacy of this task may, in some measure, be appreciated, by bearing in mind that the Society has never adopted a formal creed; and that, with the exception of a few points em braced in the advices of its Yearly meetings, its doctrines must be sought for in the voluminous writings of its members, which, not being always clear, require to be collated with each other.
It cannot be supposed that the members of a society gathered from various religious sects, and educated under such diverse in?uences, would all agree in every point of doctrine.
