ABSTRACT
In French-speaking Switzerland, with a lively group in Geneva, the nearness to France with its Algerian problems has opened the eyes of many Christians to the real meaning of war. Apart from France, with its characteristic adventures and problems, the history of the Continental Fellowships has been that of a network of small groups, isolated in their own countries, yet closely associated within the movement. In some of these groups the Fellowship has been virtually identified with national religious pacifist associations, such as Holland’s Kerk en Vrede and Denmark’s Kristeligt Fredsforbund. Kerk en Vrede has itself established Youth Committees in Amsterdam, Utrecht and The Hague, of which the members undertook to spend part of their holidays in social work and to give a proportion of their pocket money to ‘Eirene’. The great Fellowship personality of Sweden, and indeed of all Scandinavia, was natanael beskow.
