Presentation by Cindy Rutledge on Friends Divided - Separation of 1877 in Indiana. After several years of turmoil, Western Yearly Meeting divided in 1877. The yearly meeting was separated into two extreme positions. One followed the traditional doctrine of the society including silent meetings for worship. The second position reflected the beliefs of the influx of new members who were not concerned with traditional Quaker practices. These members began worship services that were programmed and included singing and other nontraditional practices. This division of beliefs led to the Separation of 1877. Six meetings were separated including two in Hendricks County – Mill Creek and Plainfield. |
