The below is an answer from the Roman Catholic perspective.
The Church's outreach to the Society of Friends would fall under Ecumenism and Interreligious Dialogue of which His Holiness, Pope Benedict XVI, is a big supporter;
Pope Benedict XVI has reaffirmed the commitment of the Catholic Church to the ecumenical movement, and stated that ecumenism would be the "primacy task" of his pontificate. This is an excerpt from his address to the Cardinals at the end of a Mass he celebrated with them the day after his election, on Apr. 20, 2005:
Nourished and sustained by the Eucharist, Catholics cannot but feel encouraged to strive for the full unity for which Christ expressed so ardent a hope in the Upper Room. The Successor of Peter knows that he must make himself especially responsible for his Divine Master's supreme aspiration. Indeed, he is entrusted with the task of strengthening his brethren (cf. Lk 22:32).
With full awareness, therefore, at the beginning of his ministry in the Church of Rome which Peter bathed in his blood, Peter's current Successor takes on as his task the duty to work tirelessly to rebuild the full and visible unity of all Christ's followers. This is his ambition, his impelling duty. He is aware that good intentions do not suffice for this. Concrete gestures that enter hearts and stir consciences are essential, inspiring in everyone their inner conversion that is the prerequisite for all ecumenical progress.
