Four vivid portraits of conservative Quaker ministry show how conviction, plainness, and silent worship shaped a people under pressure from modern life. We trace their outreach, leadership, and struggles with change as Ohio Friends carry inner continuity toward 1917.
• Elwood Conrad’s solemn preaching on salvation and conscience
• James Henderson’s home meetings, missions work, and presidential visits
• Cyrus Cooper’s rigorous plainness, opposition, and intuitive friendships
• Carl Patterson’s gentle leadership, clerking, and magnetic presence
• Quietism’s strengths and limits within a changing economy
• The hedge of plainness fading while inner bonds endure
• Education, eldering, and the cost of fear of change
• Readiness for war-time testing and reconstruction
A complete list of our podcasts, organized into topics, is available on our website.
