Buckingham Friends School inspires a lifelong love of learning, nurtures a respect for the Light in every person, and fosters a sense of spiritual community. Buckingham Friends School offers children in kindergarten through eighth grade an excellent educational experience in a caring community, where each child can grow intellectually, socially and spiritually. An essential part of Friends' belief is that there is "that of God" in each of us. This belief is the foundation for mutual respect and trust among teachers, students and parents. Together, children and faculty experience the Quaker principles of equality, simplicity, community and non-violence. Our faculty helps each child to feel self-worth, to develop high goals, to take day-to-day responsibility for work and to think independently. Students are expected to observe certain standards. Among the most important are honesty, kindness, trust, decency, responsibility, compassion and consideration for others. In addition to basic core curriculum classes, required courses include computer literacy, religion and foreign languages. French is taught in all grades beginning in kindergarten, and students may choose to begin instruction in Russian in the sixth grade. Creative expression is developed and encouraged in regular music, art, drama and woodshop classes. Students further expand their horizons through weekly elective periods. All students participate in physical education.

Religious Society of Friends
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia. The Religious Society of Friends , commonly known as Quakers or Friends , is a branch of the Christian church founded in England during the 17th century . Quaker congregations are scattered across the world. Though the number of Quakers in the world is rather small, Quakers have shaped the world to a degree far beyond their numbers.
History
The founder of the Quaker movement was George Fox , who believed that the direct experience of the divine presence was available to all, without the need for any kind of mediation. This was revealed in his autobiography by the words: "There is One, even Christ Jesus , who can speak to my condition." Quakers often express a related belief that there is "that of

Chicago Friends Meeting is affiliated with Western Yearly Meeting and Friends United Meeting. The Religious Society of Friends dates back to 1660 England where George Fox sought The Devine Presence in the "Inner Light" that spoke directly to each person. The quiet transcendence of the Holy Spirit. Friends' worship lacks elaborate ritual. There is a long tradition of patiently waiting in silence for the Spirit of Christ who has promised to be present, "where two or three have gathered in my name" (Mt. 18.20). We gather in quiet meditation listening for that inner light to move us. Attendees are encouraged to speak and minister to the needs of others as Our Lord moves them.

Try to live so that you can respond to that of God in those you meet, and in yourself. Seek to know in your inmost heart that each human being is unique, precious, a child of God. Questions and Counsel, 1988. The Anchorage Religious Society of Friends (also known as Quakers ) is an unprogrammed worship group. This means:
  • There is no single person, such as a priest or minister, who leads our worship.
  • We sit quietly, waiting upon the Light to inspire, to refresh, and to guide us.
  • At times we speak as moved. Often, though, we wait upon the Light, strengthening each other in prayerful obedience to God.

Religious Society of Friends
The first Europeans to settle Burlington were members of the Religious Society of Friends, also known as Quakers. Founded by George Fox in seventeenth-century England, the Friends quickly met with persecution for their refusal to bear arms, take oaths, and pay tithes. Less than a quarter-century after the Society was founded, Friends began leaving England for the religious freedom of America. More than one third of those originally purchasing land in Burlington had been fined or imprisoned for their beliefs in England. Even as their ship, the Kent, sailed down the Thames River, King Charles II boarded it from his royal barge and wished them a safe voyage. As the King's own laws led to much of the abuse the Quakers received in England, this blessing is usually viewed as a polite "go away," at best. Since 1677, Burlington has been the home of many Friends, including

A translation cannot reproduce in English all the meaning of the original text. On finer points and on some surprisingly major points, significant differences exist between one translation and another. The English words chosen to translate the Hebrew or Greek are important reflections of the translator's perspective. By using several different translations of the Bible, it will quickly become apparent that translators are human. Bible study in which different translations are read sensitizes the members to how the choice of English words affects the meaning of the text. The translator's words point to the meaning of the original text, which in turn is an effort to point to truth as the author understood it. This is a liberating insight to many, and it may transform a reader's antagonism toward the text and enable the reader to approach the text in order to understand the underlying truth.

var site="sm1QuakerInfo" Towards Renewal Within the Religious Society of Friends, Part 1 of 2
by Bill Samuel Reprinted with permission from Quaker Religious Thought #87 (May 1996) I appreciate the invitation from the editor to respond to Grant Thompson's paper, "A Perspective on Friends Membership" (QRT #86). I will draw upon that and other articles in the same issue in a discussion of Christian renewal within the Religious Society of Friends, with a particular focus on Christians in meetings where Friends lack a corporate commitment to Christ. The second series of choices offered by Thompson is:
    2. Ideally, the set of requirements for membership in Friends meetings (a) should , (b) should not include, as a subset, the set of requirements for membership in the Church Universal (i.e., the Body of Christ).
Thompson restricts his discussion to the first option. While I agree with Thompson that this should be the case, it is not in the Monthly Meeting (Adelphi) and Yearly Meeting (Baltimore) in which I hold my formal membership in Friends. For those of us for whom being part of the Body of Christ is central to our identity, this presents major problems. Rupert Read suggests, in "On the Nature and Centrality of the Concept of 'Practice' Among Quakers," that it is practice rather than faith that binds Friends together. Furthermore, he maintains that it is not even important that Friends claim faith in God.

The Call of Christ
Are these negative feelings the proper mark of Christ's people? Of course not. It is all too easy to let ourselves be overcome by the things that disappoint us. But if we believe in the gospel, we know that Christ has won the victory and we should not be discouraged. Jesus' Great Commission and the vision of Fox of a great people to be gathered should still motivate Christians. There is a broken world around us, full of people who need to hear the Good News of their Savior, not the frustrations of people immobilized by denominational struggles. There must be a realignment. I am not speaking of a structural change in the Religious Society of Friends, although that may come about. The realignment of which I speak is to come into alignment with the cause of Christ in this world. Christians must move from reaction to the initiatives of those who don't share our faith, to action to implement the call of Christ in our individual and corporate lives. That others don't hear the call, or actively resist the call, is not a reason for us to give anything but our all for our Lord and Savior.
