Conservative Friends refers to members of a certain branch of the Religious Society of Friends (Quakers). In the United States of America, Conservative Friends belong to three Yearly Meetings—Iowa Yearly Meeting (Conservative), North Carolina Yearly Meeting (Conservative), and Ohio Yearly Meeting. There is no single unifying association of Conservative Friends, unlike the other three main branches of Quakerism in America, represented by Friends United Meeting, Evangelical Friends International, and Friends General Conference.
