911 Response:
No to Hate! No to War!
Dear Peacemaker,
The Fellowship of Reconciliation joins you in
taking action! We do so in keeping with our 86-year-old, interfaith
tradition working for Peace, Justice and Reconciliation.
We believe there are nonviolent ways to respond.
We hope you will find the attached materials helpful to you in worship
and reflection and discussion, and in organizing events, talking
with the media, providing direction and consolation to others, and
locating additional resources. At this time, the Local Groups and
Religious Peace Fellowships associated with FOR are vital organizing
centers across the country. This is a time for all of us to work
with others committed to nonviolence, peace, justice and reconciliation,
and with those of other spiritual orientations and with Muslims
and Arab-Americans.
National FOR staff and programs seek to prevent
further hatred and violence. This packet and additional materials
will be placed on our web site at www.forusa.org.
And you can contact us for further information by phone or fax or
email.
Please consider a contribution of $10 or more
to help FOR provide materials like this.
May we all bear witness to the sacred in every
person,
Janet Chisholm and Richard Deats
Interim Co-Executive Directors
