Bill Samuel

Bill Samuel is a Quaker author and blogger. He has written for print publications such as Quaker Religious Thought, Quaker Life and The Friend. Bill long had formal ties with three branches of the Society of Friends. He was a member of Adelphi (MD) Friends Meeting, which is a part of both Friends General Conference (FGC) and Friends United Meeting (FUM). He was an affiliate member of Rockingham Friends Meeting, part of Ohio Yearly Meeting (Conservative). With a fourth branch, Evangelical Friends International (EFI), he had no formal membership ties but a number of friendly associations. In 2005, Bill resigned from his Friends meeting and joined Cedar Ridge Community Church, a nondenominational faith community frequently identified with the loose “Emerging Church” movement. Since that time, Bill has sought to foster cross-fertilization between Quakerism and the Emerging Church movement.
