George Fox.

Yes, the college, but also the man. I was reading up on Quakerism recently, because I've found it very interesting. I found a quote by George Fox in my readings, and it really struck a cord with me.

"You will say Christ saith this, and the apostles say this, but what canst thou say? Art thou a child of Light and hast thou walked in the Light, and what thou speakest is it inwardly from the God?"

This was really liberating to me at first, because I think Fox is saying that yes, Christ and the apostles were good, but our experience is good, too. We were given the Inner Light, too.

I also read that most Quakers believe that there are aspects of good and evil latent in everyone. That really gives us a lot of freedom. There are lots of things about the Quakers that I admire, but I still need to understand what they believe about Jesus. I need to work out what I believe about Jesus - but I have also been hurt by the church, and I think Jesus is that icon for hurt right now.
