World War 1 was as traumatic for Quakers in Leeds as for everyone at the time. The Quaker response was very varied. Decisions about how to respond to war and conflict were not simple and the Inward Light led Friends to different courses of action. Quakers and the First World War provides personal accounts of how various individuals and families – the ancestors of some present-day Leeds Quakers – reacted with conscience and courage in turbulent times. The book also shows how the ongoing work for peace is part of a continuing story.
