        History

        The World Alliance for Promoting International Friendship through the Churches was founded at Constance in 1914 with the help of the Church Peace Union, with which it remained closely associated. It was supported by church leaders in Europe and America and national groups from a number of different countries were federated to it. It was an ecumenical movement working for peace. After World War Two attempts to re-establish the Alliance were unsuccessful and, as the World Council of Churches and International Missionary Council set up the Commission of the Churches on International Affairs, the World Alliance for Promoting International Friendship through the Churches was formally dissolved in 1948.
