| Research Abstract |
Mainly with the Japan Committee Archives of Philadelphia Yearly Meeting of Friends at the Quaker Collection, Haverford College, this study analyzes the process that the Mission Board of Philadelphia Yearly Meeting of Friends found its own way of foreign work and obtained cooperation from the American Friends Service Committee (the AFSC). After WWI, the tendency of foreign missionary work was clearly away from evangelism and in the direction of humanitarian aid and international goodwill. Philadelphia Friends developed their own missiology, which featured international understanding and fellowship. After the Pacific War broke out, the Mission Board together with the AFSC worked for the Japanese Americans in the United States who were confined in concentration camps. Some of the most important correspondence such as a letter from the Mission Board to the US President are introduced. The AFSC's commitment to Japan is also surveyed in this study. It started in 1923 when the AFSC gave emergency aid to Japan in the aftermath of the Great Kanto Earthquake. It has included responses to the Exclusion Act and the interned Japanese Americans as well.
