Summary

With particular concern for the complex interplay between unity and fractiousness in this region, this chapter profiles the three largest branches of North American Quakers: Friends General Conference, the most liberal branch; Friends United Meeting, which serves a mixed group of Quaker liberals and evangelicals; and the Evangelical Friends Church International, a clear voice for Evangelical Friends. Western Yearly Meeting, composed of meetings affiliated with Friends United Meeting located in Western Indiana and Illinois, is the subject of a case study for this chapter.
