Plain-dressing Quakers Today

I think the best place to see plain Friends is among the photos taken at the Conservative Quaker Gatherings. Martin Kelley's photos from the Gathering of Conservative Friends 2009 hosted by Keystone Fellowship Monthly Meeting of Ohio Yearly Meeting in Lancaster, PA. Photos from the Gathering of Conservative Friends 2008 at Stillwater Meeting in Barnesville, OH.

As well as the evolution of my own plain dress style here

I also have a webpage of photographs of early twentieth-century and mid-1800s plain-dressing Friends.

"The Growth in Silence"

FRIENDS, Live in the unchangable Power of God, which will keep you in Righteousness and Truth, and Love and Unity, and Dominion over all the . . . rough Ways and Mountains within and without; that the Power of the Lord God may be Supreme amongst you, and that ye may in the Wisdom of the Lord be preserved.

And all be diligent in your Places ...

I am not Amish or Mennonite, but some people who come to my website are interested in knowing more about these groups. I can recommend these books as authoritative and relatively inexpensive sources of further information.
