Description

Allen Jay used to be probably the most remarkable Friends of the nineteenth century, indeed, in all probability probably the most remarkable Friends who ever lived. His life used to be full of paradoxes. Born with a cleft palate, he became probably the most admired and successful Quaker preachers of his time. A native of the Ohio frontier, he became widely traveled and admired world wide. A peacemaker by nature, he on the other hand did not shrink from controversy when he saw a principle involved. Firmly committed to what he understood as historic Quakerism, he on the other hand helped lead in all probability probably the most dramatic, even revolutionary, change that it has ever experienced. And in the course of controversy, he managed to retain the respect, even love, of almost everyone with whom he came into contact. – From the Introduction, by Thomas D. Hamm

If you wish to be aware Quakerism in the 1600s, it’s important to read The Journal of George Fox. If you wish to be aware Friends in the 1700s, it’s important to read The Journal of John Woolman. And If you wish to be aware the complex challenges and changes faced by Friends in the 1800s, it’s important to read Autobiography of Allen Jay. – From the Foreword, by Joshua Brown
