The Quaker Tapestry consists of 77 panels illustrating the history of Religious Society of Friends Quakerism from the 17th century up to the present day. The idea of Quaker Anne Wynn Wilson, the tapestry has a permanent home at the Friends Meeting House at Kendal , Cumbria , England. The design was heavily influenced by the Bayeux Tapestry , and includes similar design choices, including three horizontal divisions within panels, embroidered outlines for faces and hands, and solid infilling of clothing, which is embroidered in the Bayeux Technique. The tapestry is worked in crewel embroidery using woolen yarns on a handwoven woolen background. In addition to using four historic and well known stitches Split Stitch , Stem Stitch , Chain Stitch , and Peking Knot , Wynn Wilson invented a new corded stitch, known as Quaker Stitch , to allow for tight curves on the lettering. Each panel measures 25 inches wide by 21 inches tall. 4,000 men, women and children from 15 countries worked on the panels between 1981 and 1989.

The Quaker Consortium is an arrangement between three liberal arts colleges, Bryn Mawr College , Haverford College , Swarthmore College , and one research university, the University of Pennsylvania , in the greater Philadelphia area. The arrangement allows for their students to enroll in courses at the other schools of the Consortium. The name stems from the historic influence of Quakers in the Philadelphia region and in the founding and administration of the Consortium s member schools. The three liberal arts colleges facilitate transportation between their respective campuses with free shuttle services. No such service is offered between the liberal arts colleges and Penn. Students wishing to get to Penn must drive or take the SEPTA Paoli Thorndale Line or Media Elwyn Line trains to Philadelphia. Some programs at the liberal arts colleges subsidize these SEPTA fares.

distinguish Quaker Faith and Practice BibleHistory The Quaker Bible , officially A new and literal translation of all the books of the Old and New Testament with notes critical and explanatory , is the 1764 translation of the Christian Bible into English by Anthony Purver 1702 1777 , a Religious Society of Friends Quaker . The translation was published in two Volumes in London by W. Richardson and S. Clark in 1764, but is not generally regarded as successful.

Guy wrote an article printed in the Expository Times ref name expositorytimes Expository Times issue 81 pages 148 150. Published in 1970 ref An Eighteenth Century New English Bible , discussing Purver s Bible translation. Guy makes no further reference to the NEB to justify the analogy claimed by the title of his article. Whilst both Purver s Bible and the New English Bible endured long gestation periods, that is where any similarity ends. Nevertheless, exploring the attempted analogy can help to highlight certain factors about Purver s version Purver was a self taught translator and laboured for 30 years with the project single handed compared to the New English Bible which involved a large number of academics. Failing to interest a publisher, Purver sold the manuscript for 1,000 to Dr. John Fothergill who published the Bible at his own expense. The two volumes sold for four Guinea British coin guineas . There is no evidence of any volume of sales. This was in contrast to the New English Bible, which was backed before publication by the mainstream Churches in Great Britain and Northern Ireland including the London Yearly Meeting of the Religious Society of Friends , and had a built in user base.
