Summary
Spanning from India in the west, up to China in the north, and down to New Zealand in the southeast, the Asia-Pacific region is home to approximately 35,000 Friends in about twenty countries. By the numbers, close to 90% are Evangelical, 6% are non-pastoral Programmed, and 5% are Unprogrammed. This chapter looks beyond these statistics by outlining the work of Quakers, and touches on Quaker-related organizations that operate in the region.
