Arcadia caption text: In 1827, the schism of the Society of Friends into the Orthodox and Hicksite Quakers occurred following a theological division provoked by minister Elias Hicks over the role of scripture within the faith. The Hicksites, who believed that the “inner light” of God was a higher authority than the Bible, formed their own meeting houses such as this one, built in 1833, at the northeast corner of Ninth and Spruce streets. In 1900, a year after this photograph was taken, the vacant meeting house was razed because most of the Quaker community then lived outside of the city.
