Exhibition: Faith & Action: Quakers and the First World War

January 17, 2015 - June 7, 2015

Using original photographs, film, interviews and artefacts, Faith & Action tells the compelling stories of Quaker men and women during the 1914-1918 conflict and its aftermath. The exhibition examines the impact of the war on Quaker artists, businesses, families and communities in Birmingham, central England and beyond. With rare archival material, Faith & Action explores aspects of Quaker humanitarian, medical and relief work in Britain and Europe, and brings to life the dilemmas experienced by young Quaker men in deciding whether to fight, face imprisonment or serve in other ways.
