Curious not condemnatory: Tim Gee on why Quakers talk to other churches

‘I think interchurch engagement makes me a better Quaker.’

by Tim Gee 9th January 2026

Part of my job is to talk to other churches, on behalf of international Quakers. On occasions in the lives of other world communions, I sometimes serve as a part of interchurch delegations. I am also often the contact point for multilateral processes. While Friends World Committee for Consultation (FWCC) is not a member of the World Council of Churches, for example, we are invited to send observers, which we often do.
