[3] The Friends United Meeting is responsible for much of the growth of Quakerism in Africa and Latin America.

FUM has meetings in the United States, Canada, Belize, Cuba, Jamaica, Kenya, Tanzania, and Uganda.

After World War I, growing desire for a more fundamentalist approach began to split Five Years Meeting.

Friends United Meeting considers itself to be noncreedal which allows it to embrace a wide range of Christian Quaker theological viewpoints.

Friends have no creeds—no official words can substitute for a personal relationship with God through Jesus Christ.

As people respond to the Light of Christ within, their lives begin to reflect Jesus' peace, integrity, simplicity and moral purity.
