Peace & Service Committee

Peace and Service is a committee of the Whittier First Friends Outreach Board. This committee promotes  peace in all facets of life: interpersonal and family life, between neighbors, and between world powers. The committee is currently involved with a number of efforts to promote a peaceful resolution to the crisis in the Middle East.

"I told them I knew from whence all wars arose...and that I lived in the virtue of that life and power that took away the occasion of all wars; and that I was come into the covenant of peace which was before all wars and strife."                George Fox, founder of Quakerism (1650)
