The Convincement and Religious Progress of John Spalding
The Convincement and Religious Progress of John Spalding
by: John Spalding
Though raised in the Church of England, John Spalding’s (1765-1795) pursuit of truth left him dissatisfied with the traditional worship of his day, concluding that in many respects, it was neither pleasing to God nor effective towards the salvation of his soul. After at last finding the Pearl of great price, he composed a public letter to beloved friends and family attending St. Giles church in Reading, explaining his reasons for leaving their communion, and acknowledging himself to be “one who was long in the profession, but knew not the power, till it pleased the Lord, by the ministry and writings of the people called Quakers, to direct him to where alone the power is to be known, that is, within.” (Original title: Some Account of the Convincement and Religious Progress, of John Spalding, Late of Reading. With His Reasons for Leaving the National Established Mode of Worship.)
