Quaker Committee for Christian and Interfaith Relations
Accountable to Britain Yearly Meeting Trustees, the Quaker Committee for Christian & Interfaith Relations is responsible for keeping Britain Yearly Meeting informed of the various movements towards inter-church co-operation and opportunities for interfaith dialogue, and for responding on behalf of the Yearly Meeting so that Friends’ views on issues of faith and order are represented to other churches and communities of faith. (Quaker faith & practice 9.13.)
