Summary
This chapter explores some ongoing efforts among Quaker women to sustain and nurture relationships across the varied and at times conflicting traditions of Friends. The primary example offered here is that of women in the Pacific Northwest (PNW) of the United States where the two yearly meetings are at the opposite ends of Friends’ theological spectrum. These efforts will be compared to the work of the United Society for Friends Women (USFW) which has been a leader in connecting across Yearly Meetings, especially in Kenya where the tensions and pressures separating Friends are substantially different than in the United States.
