George Fox was the founder of the Society of Friends. He is considered so chiefly because of the system of meetings for church business that he established in the years immediately after 1667, which essentially stands today. Most important is the monthly meeting, which considers all applications for membership, may manage properties, and acts on members’ concerns.
