Fellowship of the New Life

node
A group that met to change themselves became a group that set out to change everyone else.
Who they are

The Fellowship of the New Life, a circle that began meeting in 1883, and the Fabian Society that grew out of it.

What they do

The first Fabians started as the Fellowship of the New Life, then took a new name at a meeting on 4 January 1884 in the London home of Edward Pease, a young solicitor.

How it works

The Fellowship and the Fabian Society came from the same founding circle and shared people. The record does not show that the Fellowship went on to direct the Fabian Society after the split.

Why it matters

It shows how a small group can split, rename itself, and become known for something different from what it first set out to do.
