For him it symbolized the spirit against the letter, silence against chatter, experience against dogma, and equality against all who build inequality on authority and power, be it of the state or religion. His mistrust of the official Anglican Church was immense. He spoke with disdain of the \"towered houses\" and was tormented by the ringing of church bells. He frequently interrupted preachers, standing in the church's doorway, a hat covering his head, and uttering threatening words toward the pulpit, causing great excitement in the gathered congregation. It often resulted in Fox being beaten up, banished, and, later on, jailed for years. What aroused his ire, above all, were the priests who, without ever having experienced or even looked for illumination, presented themselves as servants of God but, in truth, comprised a \"society of cannibals.\" It is \"not enough to have been educated in Oxford or Cambridge in order to become capable for and efficient in the service of Christ. To this day it is difficult for many Friends to speak of \"Quaker theology.\" The Friends believe in Scripture - George Fox knew it by heart - but they also believe that the Spirit transcends Scripture and that the inner light is experienced by all human beings without human mediation. \"The inner light,\" \"the inward teacher\" are names that the early Quakers gave to their experiences of the Spirit. They believe that everyone can meet the \"Christ within,\" even though he has different names in different ages and places and is not tied to any form of religion. This light is open to everyone and, yet, it is not simply the natural light of reason. In a conversation that Fox had with Lord Protector Oliver Cromwell, he vigorously resisted this rational interpretation. In every human being is \"that of God,\" hidden, eclipsed, often forgotten. Linguistically a clumsy expression at best, \"that of God in everyone\" is the foundation of human dignity. In addition, it is the admonition to believe in it, to discover it in each and everyone and to respond to it. Fox said, \"Walk joyfully on the earth and respond to that of God in every human being.”", "creator": { "@type": "Person", "name": "Dorothee Soelle" }, "url": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/dorothee-soelle/when-he-was-twenty-three-years-old-he-george-fox-saw-the-inner-light/", "image": { "@type": "ImageObject", "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/3b0/dorothee-soelle-19207_human-dignity_when-he-was-twenty-three-years-old-he-ge_906542.jpg", "contentUrl": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/3b0/dorothee-soelle-19207_human-dignity_when-he-was-twenty-three-years-old-he-ge_906542.jpg", "url": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/3b0/dorothee-soelle-19207_human-dignity_when-he-was-twenty-three-years-old-he-ge_906542.jpg", "width": 1080, "height": 1080, "caption": "“When he was twenty-three years old, he (George Fox) saw the inner light in a vision.
