1650s England
Kingless country
Civil war

Dudes in robes
the only way
to communicate with God

All pay tithes
And all take oaths
Churches full of empty forms

A shoemaker
begins to preach
What does George Fox say?

but flowing over it was
an infinite ocean of love.”

in all countries, places, and nations,
wherever you go.”

in your own mind and spirit

“I heard a voice, which said,
‘Jesus Christ can speak to your condition.’
When I heard it, my heart did leap for joy.”
What’s George Fox say?

Shaggy hair
Leather clothes
He comes for prayer
then he steps on toes

He cannot stand
Bad theology
He serves a jail term or three

His jailers rise
and follow him
He’s an angel in disguise

His piercing eyes
see your course
cause he’s connecting to his

So-o-o-o-ource,
So-o-o-o-ource,
So-o-o-o-ource.

He’s connecting to his
So-o-o-o-ource,
So-o-o-o-ource,
So-o-o-o-ource.
What does George Fox say?

“The Lord does not dwell
in these man-made temples
but rather in people’s hearts.”
What’s George Fox say?

“Christ says this,
and the apostles say that,
but what can you say?”
What’s George Fox say?

“Walk cheerfully over the world,
answering that of God
in everyone.”
What’s George Fox say?

(silence)
What does George Fox say?

The insight of George Fox
was that the Spirit can guide us
It talks in a still small voice
of Love and Truth
What do you hear?
Will you keep yourself open
to peace and integrity?
What do you hear?

You have a guardian Angel
hiding in your soul
What do you hear?

What do you hear?
I want to
I want to
I want to know!
