Definition
A member of the Hicksite Quakers, a 19th-century branch of the Society of Friends that followed the liberal theology of Elias Hicks.
Etymology
Named after Elias Hicks (1748-1830), an American Quaker preacher whose liberal interpretations of Quaker doctrine led to a schism in 1827. The '-ite' suffix denotes a follower of a person or ideology, similar to 'Moravite' or 'Wesleyan.'
Kelly Says
The Hicksite split shows how even peaceful, contemplative religions split over interpretation—Hicksites believed in the inner light over Scripture, creating America's first major religious schism. It happened because of one charismatic preacher's ideas, proving that personality can reshape theology.
