Literature was sent to members several times a year. Its original purpose was to make it possible for persons to be associated with the Society of Friends while still maintaining other religious affiliation. The Wider Quaker Fellowship (WQF) was established as a spiritual movement in 1936. In 1937, the Friends World Conference brought about 250 foreign visitors to the United States the Fellowship Council assisted in visitation plans. Itineraries were prepared, contacts made, and a small fund was established to provide travel assistance. From its beginning as the Message Committee of the AFSC, the Council assisted Friends travelling across America. The Fellowship Council merged with the Friends World Committee, American Section, in 1954. The primary purpose of the AFFC was to foster an increased interest in Quakerism throughout the United States and to draw all Friends groups into closer sympathy and fellowship. The American Friends Fellowship Council had its origin in the Fellowship Committee of the American Friends Service Committee. Barnard (Joseph Bernard) Walton, Benjamin F.
