Philadelphia Yearly Meeting of Friends (Orthodox : 1827-1955). Bucks Quarterly Meeting of Friends

Bucks Quarterly Meeting was established by Philadelphia Yearly Meeting in 1683. The first business sessions were held in 1684. After the Separation of 1827, there were two Bucks Quarterly Meetings. In 1898, Bucks Quarterly Meeting (Orthodox) was laid down and its members attached to Burlington Quarterly Meeting, renamed Burlington and Bucks Quarterly Meeting. Bucks Quarterly Meeting (Hicksite) merged with Burlington and Bucks Quarterly Meeting (Orthodox) in 1955. The constituent New Jersey meetings of the latter were transferred to the reunited Burlington Quarterly Meeting. The reunited Bucks Quarterly Meeting resumed the use of its pre-Separation name. It is currently active.
