	Quaker Theologies in the 19th Century Separations
		Joseph John Gurney, a British Quaker from a prominent family (and brother of the prison reformer Elizabeth Fry), sought to bring Quakers into various pan-Protestant causes such as the British and Foreign Bible Society.
		J.J. Gurney, son of a banker and great-great-grandson of Robert Barclay, was a friend of several noted English evangelicals, both Anglican and dissenting, and seems to have interpreted Quakerism within a cultured, socially conscious, and ecumenical context.
		John Wilbur believed, essentially, that the Gurneyites were overreacting to the errors of the Hicksites, just as (he said) the Calvinists, in defending the atonement against Romanist and Socinian attacks, had failed to give due attention to the inward leading and sanctifying work of Christ's Spirit.

		This soil was therefore fertile for Joseph John Gurney, a noted English Friend who traveled to the United States for a three-year tour of American meetings in 1837.

		Gurney was training up her family in ways of usefulness and true wisdom; while "the fear of the Lord," as the great principle of life and action, was constantly set before them.
		Gurney gave her children, the daily reading of the Scriptures, and the quiet ponderings upon the passages read, and we cannot be surprised that such a character was built up in that Quaker home.
		Joseph John Gurney himself visited America and the Continent upon similar missions, and in some of his journeys was accompanied by his illustrious sister.

		Gurney (1788-1847) was an English banker who gained renown as a charismatic Quaker minister, traveling to the United States and other countries to preach on behalf of world peace, the abolition of slavery and capital punishment, and abstinence from alcohol.
		But Gurney is describing the difficulties Opie encountered "when she found herself constrained to make an open profession of Quakerism," which didn't happen until 1825.
		Regardless of the exact date of the usage, it's immediately striking to the reader due to its italicization in the text, which suggests that Gurney was emphasizing the unusualness of the word, perhaps in recognition of its nonce status.

		It is, of course, tempting to explain the motives of the letter writers in purely economic terms: Peerson was attempting to speculate in land at the expense of his fellow Norwegians.

		Joseph John Gurney, another systematic thinker, was praised by some Friends as a prophet for restoring Quakerism to its evangelical roots.
		Gurney goes to great lengths not only to show from the Scriptures that war and violence are wrong, but also to argue extensively from Christian history that primitive Christianity, to which the Quakers sought to return, regarded all outward forms of war as incompatible with the love of Christ.
		The Quaker peace testimony evolved from the scattered writings of Fox and early Friends to a coherent and systematic philosophy based on the revelation of Christ, the writings of the Scriptures, and the experience of early Christians.
