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.

for Christian and Interfaith Relations about which more
information can be found here.
