If you are a Quaker, you will naturally want to read this portrayal
of the remarkable woman-teacher, minister, writer-whose life was
synonymous with the Philadelphia Race Street Yearly Meeting and the
Friends General Conference. Quaker or not, you will find deep
interest and everything to admire in the record of a personality so
matter-of-factly devoted to religious tolerance and social
progress. Jane Rushmore's life covers nearly three-quarters of the
period during which American Quakerism has been divided into
"Hicksite" and "Orthodox" branches. While there has been endless
discussion and analysis concerning the Separation, little attention
has been paid the independent accomplishments of each group of
their mutual efforts toward reconciliation. More than the biography
of one person, Under Quaker Appointment also tells the neglected,
impressive story of how the two groups worked their way back to
organic union. Here is the absorbing study of an outstanding
American and of great events in the history of an organization
whose expression of Christianity is universally unique.
