Abstract

Quaker scholars Michael Birkel and Marie Vandenbark collaborate to connect the dots between George Fox’s life and thought, evolving practices in the Religious Society of Friends, and the attitude of I-thou encounter Martin Buber describes in I and Thou. Birkel highlights imagery from the Song of Songs, echoed in Fox, depicting intimate and collective dimensions of encounter with the divine. Vandenbark explores Friends’ contemporary language and practice of Meeting for clues as to distinctively collective, prophetic, and everyday aspects of Friends’ mystical experiences. Together they explore what Friends seek and find in what Martin Buber calls “the between” of relation.
