Description

The Fellowship of Reconcilliation was founded at the outbreak of World War I in England by 130 Christian pacifists in Cambridge in 1914. Led by Henry Hodgkin, an English Quaker, and Friedrich Siegmund-Schulze, a German Lutheran, the group's members pledged themselves to the quest for peace, led by the motto: "We are at one in Christ and can never be at war." During the war, the group promoted passive resistence and supported conscientious objectors. They believed that "in order to establish a world-order based on Love, it is incumbent upon those who believe in this principle to accept it fully, both for themselves and in relation to others and to take the risks involved in doing so in a world which does not yet accept it."

In 1915 the movement spread internationally, including to the United States, where it became a leading Protestant peace organization. It aided conscientious objectors, helped workers organize unions and engaged in social justice work.
