The Tract Association of Friends was founded in Philadelphia in 1816 to provide literature reflecting principles of the Religious Society of Friends: the mode and manner of worship, and the testimony of faith espoused by George Fox and William Penn, among others. The Tract Association has continued to provide small leaflets, booklets and books to Friends and those of like mind free or at cost. Boa
rd members represent several Yearly Meetings and share a concern that Friends’ principles be presented for the education of Friends and other denominations. Today, this ideal continues for tracts and children’s tracts; we try to keep longer publications at cost. The Tract Association of Friends emphasizes the inward and personal experience of the Spirit of the Living Christ, our Inward Teacher. Tracts and books presented are chosen to reflect these experiences through writings of the past and present. Occasionally, the Tract Association has published tracts in other languages, and has also provided textbooks and other materials reflecting Friends’ witness. We hope to provide links to Spanish translations of our publications.
