{{main| Quaker Universalist Fellowship}}
Universalist Friends affirm [[religious pluralism]]: there are many different paths to God and understandings of the divine reached through non-Christian religious experiences, which are as valid as Christian understandings. The group was founded in the late 1970s by John Linton, who had worshipped with the Delhi Worship Group in India (an independent meeting unaffiliated to any yearly meeting or wider Quaker group) with Christians, Muslims and Hindus worshipping together.<ref name="Universalist History">{{Cite journal |last=Rickermann |first=Sally |title=Quaker Universalist Fellowship: Its History |journal=Journal of the Quaker Universalist Fellowship |year=2007 |issue=46 |url=http://www.universalistfriends.org/uf046.html#Rickerman}}</ref>

After moving to Britain, Linton founded the [[Quaker Universalist Fellowship]] in 1978. Later his views spread to the United States, where the Quaker Universalist Fellowship was founded in 1983.<ref name="Universalist History"/> Most of the Friends who joined these two fellowships were Liberal Friends from the Britain Yearly Meeting in the United Kingdom and from Friends General Conference in the United States. Interest in Quaker Universalism is low among Friends from other Yearly meetings. The views of the Universalists provoked controversy in the 1980s{{Citation needed|date=September 2018}} among themselves and Christian Quakers within the Britain Yearly Meeting, and within Friends General Conference. Despite the label, Quaker Universalists are not necessarily [[Christian Universalism|Christian Universalists]], embracing the doctrine of [[universal reconciliation]].
