Quakers

====Australia and New Zealand====
Friends in Australia and New Zealand follow the unprogrammed tradition, similar to that of the [[Britain Yearly Meeting]].
Considerable distances between the colonies and small numbers of Quakers meant that Australia Friends were dependent on London until the 20th century. The Society remained unprogrammed and is named Australia Yearly Meeting, with local organizations around seven Regional Meetings: Canberra (which extends into southern New South Wales), New South Wales, Queensland, South Australia (which extends into Northern Territory), Tasmania, Victoria, and Western Australia.<ref>{{Cite web |url=http://www.quakers.org.au/ |title=Religious Society of Friends (Quakers) in Australia Inc. |access-date=5 May 2015}}</ref> [[The Friends' School, Hobart|The Friends' School]] is found in [[Hobart]]. An annual meeting each January, is hosted by a different Regional Meeting over a seven-year cycle, with a Standing Committee each July or August. The Australia Yearly Meeting published ''This We Can Say: Australian Quaker Life, Faith and Thought'' in 2003.

Meetings for worship in New Zealand started in [[Nelson, New Zealand|Nelson]] in 1842 and in [[Auckland]] in 1885.
