Summary
In the era of global Quakerism after 1920, new bitter theological debates arose during the century producing more organic schism, whilst at the same time old wounds were healed bringing together again meetings long divided. Two world wars renewed a call to peace-making and humanitarianism among all Friends resulting in a Nobel Peace Prize, but little common ground was found on what theology constituted grounds for outreach and service. Quakers in the Global South experienced phenomenal growth, and the future promise for Friends now lies in that region as the number of adherents in traditional British and U.S. strongholds wane.
