Vintage Quaker Peace And Service Pin Badge
Posted on 15 January 2021
Quaker Peace And Service is the forerunner to the current Quaker Peace and Social Witness (QPSW).
QPSW is part of Quakers in Britain and works to tackle the root causes of violence in society.
The roots of QPSW are in the missionary work done under the name of Friends Foreign Mission Association (1868–1927). With the decline of the missions, the Mission Association merged with the Council for International Service (1919–1927) to form the Friends Service Council (1927–1978). Which was renamed Quaker Peace and Service (1979–2000), known as Quaker Peace & Social Witness since 2001.
The badge is made by Thomas Fattorini and dates to 1979 – 2000.
