Firbank Fell is a hill in Cumbria between the towns of Kendal and Sedbergh that is renowned as a place where George Fox, the founder of the Religious Society of Friends (Quakers), preached. Fox described what happened there on June 13, 1652 in this way:
Because of Fox's preaching there, the site is sometimes called "Fox's Pulpit." A plaque on the rock there commemorates the event, which is sometimes considered the beginning of the Friends movement. Firbank Fell is now immortalised as a place of Quaker history in one of the four houses at the Quaker school Bootham School. == External links == *(Pictures and Selection from Fox's Journal from Quaker Info ) *(Pictures of the Plaque at Visit Cumbria Website ) 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア(Wikipedia)』 ■ウィキペディアで「Firbank Fell」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
