Interchurch attitudes and activities amongst Quakers

Locally and nationally Quakers work in various ways with other churches as well as other faiths. (For more on Interfaith attitudes and activities see here.)

Britain Yearly Meeting is a member of Churches Together in Britain and Ireland (CTBI) and of three national bodies (in Scotland, England and Wales).


However, Britain Yearly Meeting is not a member of the World Council of Churches (WCC). This is because its Basis of Faith was considered by London Yearly Meeting in 1940 to require acceptance of a credal formulation.


Friends World Committee for Consultation, being representative of Friends world wide, receives invitations and sends observers to the WCC and some of its constituent bodies. It also sends representatives to the annual meetings of secretaries of Christian World Communions.
