He was instrumental in the establishment of the Haverford Emergency Unit (a precursor to the <a href="/wiki/American_Friends_Service_Committee" title="American Friends Service Committee">American Friends Service Committee</a>). One of the most influential Quakers of the 20th century, he was a <a href="/wiki/Quaker" class="mw-redirect" title="Quaker">Quaker</a> historian and theologian as well as a philosopher.

In 1885 he graduated from <a href="/wiki/Haverford_College" title="Haverford College">Haverford College</a> in <a href="/wiki/Pennsylvania" title="Pennsylvania">Pennsylvania</a>, and stayed on to earn his M.A. there in 1886. From 1893 to 1912 he was the editor of the <i>Friends' Review</i> (later called <i>The American Friend</i>); from this position he tried unsuccessfully to unite the divided body of Quakers. In 1901 Jones received another M. A., from <a href="/wiki/Harvard" class="mw-redirect" title="Harvard">Harvard</a>. He also began teaching philosophy and psychology at Haverford in 1893 and continued to do so until retiring in 1934. From 1898 to 1936 he served on the board of trustees of <a href="/wiki/Bryn_Mawr_College" title="Bryn Mawr College">Bryn Mawr College</a>. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Career">Career</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Rufus_Jones_(writer)&action=edit&section=2" title="Edit section: Career"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>In 1917 he helped found the American Friends Service Committee (AFSC). In 1927 Jones took a trip to Asia at the invitation of the <a href="/wiki/YMCA" title="YMCA">YMCA</a>. His main purpose was to address missionaries in China, but he made stops in Japan, India, and Palestine as well. While in India, Jones visited <a href="/wiki/Mahatma_Gandhi" title="Mahatma Gandhi">Mahatma Gandhi</a> and the birthplace of the <a href="/wiki/Gautama_Buddha" class="mw-redirect" title="Gautama Buddha">Buddha</a>. This trip helped Jones formulate a new approach to mission – that of giving humanitarian aid to people while respecting other religions and not aggressively converting people to one's own religion. In 1938, Jones traveled with fellow Quakers George Walton and <a href="/wiki/D._Robert_Yarnall" title="D. Robert Yarnall">D.

Jones wrote extensively on the topic of <a href="/wiki/Mysticism" title="Mysticism">mysticism</a>, which is one of the chief aspects of the Quaker faith. In 1948, he was awarded an honorary Doctor of Letters (Litt.D.) degree from <a href="/wiki/Whittier_College" title="Whittier College">Whittier College</a>.<sup id="cite_ref-3" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-3"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>3<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>He distinguished between negating or negative mysticism (making contact with an impersonal force) and affirming or affirmative mysticism (making contact with a personal being). He upheld that God is a personal being with whom human beings could interact. He wrote in <i>The Trail of Life in the Middle Years</i>, "The essential characteristic of [mysticism] is the attainment of a personal conviction by an individual that the human spirit and the divine Spirit have met, have found each other, and are in mutual and reciprocal correspondence as spirit with Spirit." At the same time that he distinguished between negative and affirmative mysticism, he asserted that all negative mystics occasionally take the affirmative approach and that all affirmative mystics tread the negative path from time to time. He exerted a major influence on the life and work of theologian <a href="/wiki/Howard_Thurman" title="Howard Thurman">Howard Thurman</a>, who studied with him from 1929 to 1930. </p><p>Jones was a member of the Laymen's Commission that toured mission fields in Asia and produced <i><a href="/wiki/Re-Thinking_Missions:_A_Laymen%27s_Inquiry_after_One_Hundred_Years" class="mw-redirect" title="Re-Thinking Missions: A Laymen's Inquiry after One Hundred Years">Re-Thinking Missions: A Laymen's Inquiry after One Hundred Years</a></i> (1932).
