life to what it is today, and it impacts the decisions I make now that will affect my future. When I began the college search, I really didn’t know what I was looking for. When I found George Fox University, I knew instantly that this was the place I could grow into the person I dreamed of being. By attending George Fox University, I hope to discover my faith, develop skills necessary to succeed and learn more about myself and the world, as well as contribute my diverse upbringing, leadership and strong
closely to Social Work’s own core beliefs and values. For my paper, I will discuss Quakerism, their practices, beliefs, values, and how Quakerism supports human rights and equality. A Brief History The Religious Society of Friends was founded by George Fox during the 1600s in England. The term “Quaker” was given to the group as a way to ridicule them. As the popularity of the name began to emerge, members began to adapt the term and use it when speaking about themselves informally so that others
the seventeenth-century English Civil War spawned many different religious groups, one of these were The Society of Friends. Founded by George Fox in the 1640's The Society of Friends came to be known as the Quakers, a term that was derived from the physical shaking and trembling of the believer when experiencing a union with God (p.14). The Quakers, led by Fox, came to reject nearly all outward forms of worship. The essence of his belief was that people's souls communed directly with God, who revealed
many of these same ideals, the Quakers are a group with a strong faith. Despite the fact that Quakers feel art is a luxury and a frivolous thing that they should not take part in, many great artists and writers are members of the Quaker society. George Fox founded the Quakers also known as the Society of Friends in 1650. This was a time of religious turmoil in England due to people searching for an uncorrupted version of Christianity. For their form of religion, the Quakers relied primarily on spiritual

I believe this is when Penn realized the important things in his life and started to prioritize things that meant something to him.

Margaret Askew Fell Fox In the seventeenth century, a commanding female public minister emerged during the radical religious movement of Quakerism. Margaret Askew Fell Fox was one of the founding members of the Religious Society of Friends, and was popularly known as the "Mother of Quakerism". She has been known less as a minister and more as a founder and provider of financial support then other young women. Throughout this paper I will refer to her as Fell Fox, name she acquired through marriages
and the help of others, the Quakers left a huge impact on Pennsylvania and the entire nation. The Quakers are a religion that originated in England in protest of the Anglican Church's practices. The man in charge of this religious revolution was George Fox.1 He believed that God didn't live in churches as much as he lived in people's hearts.2 In that state of mind, he went out into the world in search of his true religion. He argued with priests, slept in fields, and spent days and nights trying to
Bunyan All throughout history, the world has seen the affects of great men who have made it their life’s goal to further the word of God. There have been pastors who travel all around their nation preaching at every church they can find. There have been pastors who have had to hold services in secret or else be imprisoned for the rest of their lives. There have been missionaries who have risked their lives to bring the gospel to the most remote places of the world. There have been astounding Christian
Early Quaker Women in Ministry The Account of the Travels, Sufferings, and Persecutions of Barbara Blaugdone gives us an insight into the traveling ministry of the work’s namesake, Barbara Blaugdone, the Quaker woman who persevered through trial after trial to come out on top. As she says, “I can speak it to the glory of God, he never moved me to any thing, but that he gave me Power to perform it” (Blaugdone 8). In other words, God gave Blaugdone no trial that He did not also give her the power
Account of the Travels, Sufferings and Persecutions of Barbara Blaugdone The title of Barbara Blaugdone’s memoir is An Account of the Travels, Sufferings and Persecutions of Barbara Blaugdone, with “travels” highlighted by its enormous size. Indeed, when reading the book the reader is perhaps most struck by Blaugdone’s excessive, nearly constant travel habits. It may even be argued that at its heart the book is a travel narrative and not a memoir or even a religious account. She traipses about
phenomenon in 1688. In fact, it could be traced back to the founder of the Quaker religion, George Fox. Though he never condemned slavery, Fox stressed that all people were God’s children and called for Africans to be treated with fairness. Slavery concerned Fox for two reasons. His concerns rested on both morality and familial order which are reflective of core principles of Quaker ethics. In moral terms, Fox argued that slavery was inconsistent with the Quaker principles of equality and non-violence
reminded of the dog cat rivalry. My favorite cartoon series, The Jetsons, has a dog chase cat scene that is part of a sequence of snippets preceding each episode. The scene shows George Jetson walking Astro on an automated dog walk. Suddenly Astro takes off after a cat causing the treadmill to speed out of control leaving George Jetson yelling for help. Similarly, there are children’s jokes reflective of the negative dog cat relationship. “Why was the cat afraid of a tree? Because of the bark!” and
ideas of how a girl should be, only to find her trapped in the ways of the world. The story starts out on a farm in the 1940’s. The narrator is a woman who is telling the first person point of view of when she was a girl. The girl’s father was a fox farmer. He was a hard working, quiet man and the girl really respected him. Every winter the father killed the foxes that he raised and sold their pelts. The girl loved this time and found it seasonal, although her mother despised it. In the beginning

smiling. Across the land, a bright red fox was pelting toward the shores of the Eastern Waters. She had heard the Orca King’s call for help. Then Shadow the Wolf’s howl to gather. Feather the Fox was leaping over logs, jumping over streams, and barking to her leash to follow. The Orca King’s strong bellows screamed through the air, but only Feather the Fox could hear it. Her ears were better than an average fox’s. Shadow the Wolf howled again. Feather the Fox picked up her pace, yipping to her leash
The Arctic Fox is a carnivore that lives away from the coast. They usually eat omnivores. The Arctic Fox relies on smaller animals to survive. They usually hunt for marine life, like fish or sea birds..etc. There are several hundred thousand in its population. They have the scientific name “Vulpes Lagopus”.

A lot of animals go looking for shelter when the cold weather hits. As the temperature steadily decreases, some can find a comfortable shelter outdoors, but there are others, like mice, who decide to invade homes and call it their own. These small creatures may be cute, but they are still a pest that people do not welcome into their homes. Luckily, there are a few things homeowner can do in order to stop these uninvited guests from entering their homes. To avoid needing mice removal in Rochester
silver fox is a branch of Vulpes Vulpes and is the domesticated version of the more commonly known red fox. The full taxonomy is Anamalia Chordata Mammalia Carnivora Canidae Vulpes Vulpes. Vulpes Vulpes originated from the Canids, which all canines such as wolves, dogs, and coyotes diverted from (Baldwin 3). After the split from Canids the foxes split into six different genera; they are the Grey Fox (Urocyon), the Bat-Eared Fox (Otocyon), the Pampas and Sechura Fox (Pseudalopex), the Hoary Fox (Lycalopex)
Joaquin Kit Fox. The Kit fox is roughly about the size of a common housecat, with features ranging from big ears and a long bushy tail and toes that are very furry, that help keep the Kit Fox cool in the dry environment that they place themselves into. From a distance these Foxes are hard to spot due to their particular size ranging as high as twelve inches in height and reaching as far as twenty inches in length. The average weight of each of the individual Foxes varies for each Fox, but on average
of the body’s length.) There are literally hundreds of species and strains of fox breeds, yet they are all of the Dog family in the animal kingdom. However, some breeds of fox are definitely more related to other animals than dogs.(The “raccoon fox “ is a prime example.) Foxes as a whole are most closely related to the wolf and coyote.Wolves and coyotes have opposite behaviors to foxes. In contrary to the solitary fox, both animals are part of a larger group of “clan mates”, led by a chief male and
