Created in August 1914 as an international organization formed to help Christian churches promote peace, disarmament, rights of racial and religious minorities, conscientious objection, arms control, and later, the League of Nations. First known by the name World Alliance of Churches for Promoting International Friendship; in August 1915 adopted the name World Alliance for Promoting International Friendship Through the Churches; the word "Promoting" used in imprints and notes through 1919, not used in 1924 and thereafter. Executive offices were located in New York, N.Y., with international headquarters in Geneva, Switzerland; General Secretary for many years was Henry A. Atkinson. Probably disbanded in the mid-1950s.
