Summary
The growth of Quakerism in the Majority World, and of evangelicalism within Quakerism, parallels the larger trend in global Christianity, in which the numerical center of Christianity has moved outside of Western contexts and is dominated by evangelical spirituality. This chapter examines evangelical Friends in their present day situation in three primary sections. The first section defines evangelicalism generally and then applies that definition to evangelical Friends, tracing their development over time. The second section identifies the main ecclesial bodies populated by evangelical Quakers, their primary responsibilities and missions, and their prominence around the world. The final main section discusses the differences and similarities between evangelical Friends and the wider Quaker communion.
