Friends United Meeting

Friends United Meeting (FUM) is an association of twenty-six yearly meetings of the Religious Society of Friends (Quakers) in North America, Africa, and the Caribbean. Its home pages states that it is "a collection of Christ-centered Quakers, embracing 34 yearly meetings and associations, thousands of local gatherings and hundreds of thousands of individuals". In addition there are several individual monthly meetings and organizations that are members of FUM; FUM's headquarters is in Richmond, Indiana, with offices in Kisumu, Kenya. Friends United Meeting is a member of the National Council of Churches in the United States of America, and is a global member of the World Council of Churches.

There are five other branches within American Quakerism, of which two are represented by similar international organizations (Friends General Conference and Evangelical Friends Church International), one is represented by a single yearly meeting (Central Yearly Meeting of Friends), and two (Conservative Friends and Beanite Quakerism) have no single unifying organization.

After the switching of around 7,000 Friends in California to the EFCI, FUM is the second largest association of Friends in the United States. As of 2010, there were 24,826 members in 258 congregations in the United States. The Friends United Meeting is responsible for much of the growth of Quakerism in Africa and Latin America. Globally, FUM has over 170,000 members, with 75 percent of the Monthly meetings being in Kenya.

FUM has meetings in the United States, Canada, Belize, Cuba, Jamaica, Kenya, Tanzania, and Uganda. FUM is also affiliated with the only Quaker meeting in Palestine, the Ramallah Friends Meeting.
