 FOR Vision &
Mission Statements
FOR's Vision:
We envision a world of justice, peace, and freedom. It is a
revolutionary vision of a beloved community where differences are
respected, conflicts are addressed nonviolently, oppressive structures
are dismantled, and where people live in harmony with the earth,
nurtured by diverse spiritual traditions that foster compassion,
solidarity, and reconciliation.
FOR's Mission: FOR seeks to replace
violence, war, racism, and economic injustice with nonviolence, peace,
and justice. We are an interfaith organization committed to active
nonviolence as a transforming way of life and as a means of radical
change. We educate, train, build coalitions, and engage in nonviolent
and compassionate actions locally, nationally, and globally.
Since
1915, The Fellowship of Reconciliation (FOR) has carried on programs
and educational projects concerned with domestic and international
peace and justice, nonviolent alternatives to conflict, and the rights
of conscience. A Nonviolent, Interfaith, tax exempt organization, The
FOR promotes nonviolence and has members from many religious and ethnic
traditions. It is a part of the International Fellowship of
Reconciliation (IFOR), which has affiliates in over 40 countries.
'Never doubt that a small group
of thoughtful,
committed citizens can change the world.
Indeed, it's the only thing that ever has.'
-- Margaret Mead
"The whole aim of
practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed
by menacing it with an endless series of hobgoblins,
all of them imaginary."
H.L. Mencken
It has
never been more important to know the truth about how our world works.
The truth is what gives us the faith to not buy in to the fear put
forth by the lies of the hobgoblins.
