George Fox (1624-1691) became the founder and most prominent leader of the Quakers. "His famous Journals reveals a bold and passionate, even prophetic, man who acted with the certainty of one who knows God firsthand, not by hearsay. He was quick to confront those who 'did not possess what they professed.'"

This taken from The Letters of George Fox:

"My little children in the Lord God Almighty, this is my joy that you all be ordered and guided by the mighty power of God. Know that Voice that speaks, the sound of the words, and the power of them. For words without power destroy the simplicity, bring up into a form and out of obedience of the Truth. Therefore, walk in the power of the Truth that the name of the Lord God may be glorified among you, his renown may be seen in you and among you, and all the world may be astonished, and the Lord admired in the ordering of his people who are guided by his wisdom."

Christians should live in such a way, both individually and in Christian community, that the world takes notice and is drawn to the light of Christ. What essentials make up such a life and community?
