The Quaker Renaissance in Britain
30 September - 4 November 2026, Online
In the 1880s, Quakers in Britain were a broadly evangelical movement, wary of liberal thought. By the 1930s, they had embraced the discoveries of modern theology and science. This course explores how this dramatic shift occurred.
In this course we will examine the key events, ideas, publications and personalities of this fascinating period of Quaker history. This will help participants to better understand liberal Quakerism today. This course will particularly focus on the theological changes that occurred in how Quakers understood the Bible, Jesus and their relationship to the first Quakers.
The course takes place over six weeks, with learning materials for participants to engage with, and forums to share reflections and ask questions. There will be a weekly live session on Zoom to discuss each weeks' material.
