| Summary | "Quaker Strongholds" by Caroline Emelia Stephen is a religious treatise written in the late 19th century. The text serves as an insightful exploration of Quaker principles, worship practices, and the organizational structure of the Society of Friends. The author expresses a desire to illuminate the foundational aspects of Quakerism and its relevance in contemporary society, touching on the significance of the inner light and the communal aspects of worship and practice. The opening portion of the work presents an introduction where Stephen reflects on her personal journey and spiritual struggles while navigating traditional religious practices prior to her adoption of Quakerism. She recounts a pivotal moment when she found solace in a Friends' meeting, emphasizing the peace and communal worship experienced during silent gatherings. Stephen aims to articulate the core tenets of Quaker belief, highlighting the immediate and personal connection individuals can have with the Divine, which is central to Quaker worship. Her narrative sets the stage for a deeper exploration of Quaker principles in subsequent chapters, addressing themes such as organization, spirituality, and the profound impact of silence in worship.
