Friends Home Service Committee

Author

  • Friends' Home Mission Committee was set up by London Yearly Meeting in 1882, to promote the growth of home mission work in the Yearly Meeting. It was decided in 1893 that this committee should be appointed by representatives serving each of the Quarterly Meetings, each of whom would serve for three years. The work of this committee widened, and the committee's name was therefore changed to Friends' Home Mission and Extension Committee in 1906 and then Friends Home Service Committee in 1927. In 1998, the central committees of Britain Yearly Meeting were reorganized, with most of the work of Quaker Home Service being taken on by a new central committee called Quaker Life.
