Episcopal Peace Fellowship
- Episcopal Peace Fellowship
The Episcopal Peace Fellowship (EPF) is a pacifist organization comprised of members of the US Protestant Episcopal Church. It was originally founded on November 11 1939 as the Episcopal Pacifist Fellowship by Bishop William Appleton Lawrence, Mrs. Henry Hill Pierce, Rev. John Nevin Sayre and Bishop Paul Jones and others with the mission to pray, study and work for peace.
The EPF is divided into local chapters and urges the broader Episcopal Church, other organizations and people in general to adopt a more peaceful stance on issues such as the Iraq War, Iran, promoting peace in the broader Middle East, nuclear weapons and Cuba. It offers Active Nonviolence Training, takes part in peace demonstrations, helps organize action groups and awards peace prizes to individuals around the world who strive for peace.
