About this title

Synopsis

Journal Of The Life, Labours, And Travels Of Thomas Shillitoe: In The Service Of The Gospel Of Jesus Christ by Thomas Shillitoe is a first-person Quaker travelogue and historical account of the Hicksite–Orthodox schism that divided the Society of Friends in the late 1820s. Shillitoe records his wide itinerancy across Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Delaware, Ohio, and beyond, witnessing contentious meetings, expulsions, and the contested governance of meetinghouses, books, and funds. He describes orthodox efforts to uphold discipline, issue testimonies of denial, and preserve unity through patient testimony and orderly adjournments, even amid riots and removals. The narrative also situates abolition and social reform within religious witness, including concerns about slavery, Indigenous peoples, and prison conditions. Interwoven are encounters with Elias Hicks’s faction, with elders and ministers on both sides, and with a network of Friends across North America and Britain. The book presents a sober, devotional portrait of steadfast ministry under pressure and the struggle to reconstitute plainness and gospel order.
